Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
He burst into the Sheffield scene in 2012/13 as a 22-year-old, and immediately impressed everyone with his precocious penchant for taking top-order wickets, including getting the then-Aussie-captain MIchael Clarke out twice in the same Shield game against New South Wales. He ended up with an unprecedented 31 wickets at 23.51. However, the dream run came to a sudden halt when the ICC deemed his action illegal in 2013.
After the humiliation of a ban, Gannon came back strongly with a remodeled action and the ban was lifted for the 2013/14 domestic season. He was signed by the Brisbane Heat BBL franchise after his comeback and immediately responded with 18 wickets in 8 matches. More importantly, he had paid off as an investment for the Heat, as several teams were looking to play him out and target the other bowlers; such was the discomfort he caused to the batsmen because of the steep bounce he generated. That, combined with lateral movement off the seam turned out to be almost unplayable on slightly responsive surfaces.
He played for the Stars and Renegades in the two subsequent seasons and returned to Brisbane Heat in the 2017/18 season. This giraffe of a man could be Brisbane Heat's Trump card in this BBL, and the owners will hope that Gannon repays their faith.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
At 199 centimetres, Cameron Gannon is a tall fast bowler who gains good bounce, but his impressive 2012-13 season ended with the ignominy of being banned by Cricket Australia after his action was found to be illegal. Gannon had been reported during the Sheffield Shield final against Tasmania and biomechanical analysis at the Australian Institute of Sport found he bowled with an illegal action for all deliveries, with an average elbow extension of 24 degrees - far in excess of the allowable 15-degree limit. It meant Gannon would be unable to play for Queensland again until he could prove that he had adjusted his action appropriately. Gannon had collected 31 Shield wickets at 23.51 during the 2012-13 summer, having been a fringe member of the state side since making his debut in 2010-11.
