Cullen Benjamin Bailey (born 26 February 1985 in Bedford Park, Adelaide) is an Australian cricketer. He is a leg-spin bowler, who represents South Australia in the Ford Ranger Cup and Sheffield Shield, the Australian domestic cricket competitions.
He is captain of Glenelg in the Adelaide Grade Cricket competition, having previously captained Sturt where he won a premiership in his last year at the club in 2009/10. Along with former South Australian spinner Dan Cullen, Bailey attended Westminster School in Adelaide where he was coached by Kim Harris, former assistant coach of South Australia. Bailey has been coached by Terry Jenner, the man who advised Shane Warne, and was thought to be a prospect to be the leg-spinner to follow the likes of Warne and Stuart MacGill into the Australian cricket team. He was given a national contract but some poor performances saw his contract not be renewed, and he now plays intermittently in the State side.[1]
To date, Bailey has played 21 first-class matches, taking 63 wickets at an average of 43.31, with best figures of 5/90.
He has also played six one-day domestic games, with 9 wickets at an average of 33.00 and best bowling figures of 3/33.
