Austin Codrington (born 22 August 1975) is a Canadian former One Day International (ODI) cricketer. He is primarily a bowler but can contribute useful runs near the bottom of the order on occasion; as of 2005 he has a highest first-class score of 48. His fielding is also very good, particularly his catching.

International career

The

2003 World Cup
and made an immediate impression.

The game against

5-27 from nine overs
to reduce the Bangladeshis from the relative comfort of 106/4 to 120 all out, guiding Canada to their first win at this level, as well as claiming the best innings figures for Canada in ODIs.

Codrington played in four of Canada's other five matches in that World Cup, but did not manage to repeat his success, picking up only one more wicket and suffering the humiliation of playing in the side bowled out for 36 by Sri Lanka; this was the lowest-ever ODI total until Zimbabwe beat it by one run in 2004. Further appearances at List A level followed in the 2003–04 Red Stripe Bowl and 2004 ICC Six Nations Challenge, as well as the non-List A ICC Americas Championship.

Codrington was not selected for either the 2005 ICC Trophy or the 2005 ICC Intercontinental Cup, but did return to the Canadian team in August 2006 for the ODIs against Bermuda and the subsequent ICC Americas Championship tournament. He was not selected on their tour to South Africa in November/December however.

Domestic career

In August 2004, Codrington made his first-class debut against

by an innings and 84 runs
