Gerrans was born at Melbourne in October 1959. He later studied philosophy, politics and economics as a mature student in England at Worcester College at the University of Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1991 and 1992, making eleven appearances.[2] He scored 130 runs in his eleven matches, at an average of 14.44 and a high score of 39.[3] With his right-arm medium pace bowling, he took 14 wickets at a bowling average of 66.14 and with best figures of 3 for 86.[4] In addition to playing first-class cricket for Oxford University, Gerrans also made a single appearance for a combined Oxford and Cambridge Universities team against the touring New Zealanders in 1990,[2] taking 3 wickets in the match.[5]

After graduating from Oxford, Gerrans returned to Australia where he studied for his doctorate at the Australian National University under the supervision of Frank Jackson and Philip Pettit. Once his studies were complete, Gerrans moved into academia. He is a philosophy professor at the University of Adelaide.[1]
