Paul John Wiseman (born May 4, 1970 in Auckland) is a New Zealand cricketer, more specifically an off spin bowler. "Whiz", as he is nicknamed, can generate a fair amount of turn and he appears to be able to bowl a good line and length. His lack of variation and his high economy rate means that he remains left-arm finger spinner Daniel Vettori's understudy, despite being nine years older. Wiseman took 9-13 for Canterbury against Central Districts in Christchurch to record the second best figures for a New Zealand bowler.

Wiseman made connections with English county cricket Durham in 2006, playing four games for their second XI before making his debut against Lancashire in the penultimate Championship game of the 2006 season. He was also signed for the following season. [1]
