Geoffrey Francis Lawson is an Australian cricket coach and former cricketer and the former coach of the Pakistan cricket team. Nicknamed "Henry" after the Australian poet, Lawson was a fast bowler for New South Wales (NSW) and Australia. He first played for NSW in 1977-78, made his international debut in 1980-81. Lawson made 3 tours of England, including the 1989 Ashes-winning tour.
For a few seasons in the early 1980s, Lawson was Australia's leading fast bowler, but his career suffered from poor luck with injury. Since his playing retirement, Lawson has been a coach, commentator and writer on the game. He has broadcast for ABC Radio, Channel Nine and Foxsports, and contributed to The Sydney Morning Herald and other newspapers and magazines in various countries. He has coached the Kochi Tuskers Kerala.
Lawson first came to notice in international cricket by bowling a series of bouncers during a brief spell against Geoff Boycott in a tour match between NSW and England in the 1978-79 season. He was called up as a replacement player for the 1979 tour of India, but did not play a Test match. Similarly, he toured Pakistan in 1980 and did not make the Test team.
He took 3 wickets during his debut in the 1st Test against New Zealand at Brisbane in 1980-81, and played the 1st 3 ODIs of his career in the World Series Cup. In only his 3rd Test, Lawson returned 7/81 in the 1st innings against England at Lord's in 1981, which earned him the man of the match award. However, injuries interrupted his progress. He missed the last 3 Tests of the series with a back injury and played only 1 Test in the following Australian season, against the West Indies at Melbourne. Chosen for 9 preliminary ODIs in the World Series Cup, his total of 9 wickets was not enough to earn him selection for the finals against the West Indies.
Lawson had a mediocre 1984 tour of the West Indies, taking only 12 wickets in 5 Tests; although he performed better on the short one day tour of India later that year. Playing against the West Indies in the Australian season of 1984-85, Lawson returned to form with 23 wickets at 25.60. In the 3rd Test at Adelaide, he claimed 8/112 in a marathon spell on a batting-friendly pitch, then made 49 in the first innings but Australia lost the match, and eventually the series 1-3. During the season, he played 15 ODIs and took 17 wickets, but surprisingly was never chosen for an ODI in Australia again.
Leading an inexperienced bowling attack weakened by player defections to the rebel tours of South Africa, Lawson captured 24 wickets in 6 Tests against England in 1985 despite suffering bronchial problems throughout the tour. His best was 5/103 in the 1st innings at Nottingham and a score of 53 in the 5th Test at Edgbaston. However, his wickets were obtained at the expensive average of 37.72, as England compiled a series of high scores and won the series 3-1. The weakened Australian team fared little better in the 1985-86 season, playing New Zealand and India. Injury restricted Lawson to only 2 Tests against the Kiwis, for 5 wickets.
He played his last ODIs during the Nehru Cup tournament in India that followed the England tour. In the 1989-90 Australian season, he played 1 Test against New Zealand (for 2 wickets) and then took a solitary wicket in the 1st Test against Sri Lanka at Brisbane. Dropped for the next Test, he failed to regain his place although he continued playing for NSW until the end of the 1991-92 season.
