Shayne Barry O'Connor (born 15 November 1973) is a former New Zealand international cricketer, who played in 19 Test matches and 38 One Day Internationals between 1997 and 2001.[1] After playing domestically for Otago between the 1994–95 and 2002–03 seasons, he retired from professional cricket after the 2003 Cricket World Cup.[2]
O'Connor was born at Hastings in the Hawke's Bay Region into a farming family. He was educated at Napier Boys' High School.[3][4] He played for Central Districts age-group sides and the national under-19 side before making his senior representative debut for Otago during the 1994–95 season. In a career which lasted until the end of the 2002–03 season, O'Connor played in 78 top-level matches for Otago, taking 230 wickets for the side in first-class and List A matches. He also played Hawke Cup cricket for Central Otago.[5]
O'Connor played 57 times for the New Zealand national cricket team, including taking a five-wicket haul in the semi-final of the 2000 ICC KnockOut Trophy.[6] He retired from cricket at the age of 29 in 2003, opting to take up an opportunity to establish a business at Alexandra in Central Otago.[7] In 2023 he volunteered to act as a match referee in domestic cricket, with New Zealand Cricket suffering from a shortage of available officials. Ahead of the 2024–25 season he was formally appointed to the match referees panel.[8]
