Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
After a fine start to his First-class career that earned him a Test debut in 1967, Sheahan translated that form into the big stage as well in his first season. He got initiated in the home series against India and the young man ripped off a few delightful half-centuries, followed by a sublime 88 in the first Test of the Ashes tour in 1968. It was a frenetic yet admirable run of form since debut before the law of averages started to catch up. Sheahan's temperamental woes compounded his poor form and coincidentally, it took another India series, this time in the sub-continent for him to regain his touch. He also stroked his first Test ton on that trip although that was followed by another lean patch.
Sheahan kept finding himself in and out of the side, making his final comeback as an opener after having been a middle order batsman all those years prior. A fine century against Pakistan at the MCG promised a lot but then came the shocking retirement. Sheahan wanted to focus on his teaching career and served in several esteemed educational institutions. Geelong College (Victoria) along with St. Peter's College (Adelaide) were his initial work places while also serving in England for Westminster School. However, his longest service came for the reputed Melbourne Grammar School where he performed as the Headmaster for more than a decade.

Wisden Overview
Paul Sheahan never quite fulfilled his early promise of being a dashing strokemaker at the top level. A sparkling 81 on debut against India at Adelaide in 1967-68 spoke volumes about his talent, but he never completely mastered the art of crease occupation and his 31 Tests brought only two hundreds. The first was a delightful, chanceless 114 at Kanpur in 1969-70. And after the second - against Pakistan on an MCG featherbed in 1972-73 - Wisden said he was "apparently entrenched as the opener Australia had sought for several seasons". But he played just two more Tests, the last at 27 in New Zealand in 1973-74. He retired to teaching and is now headmaster of Melbourne Grammar School.
