Re: Australian Team Zone
First game of the tour vs Ireland in Hard/Cloudy conditions as we won the toss and went in to bat first.
A solid opening partnership was followed by a slight wobble in the middle order as we went from 65/0 to 99/4. Shaggy McCosker then joined Gregory Watson and they stitched together a 92 run partnership for the 5th wicket. Luke Shuey then joined Shaggy McCosker and together they formed a game turning partnership of 134 runs and managed to guide us to a good total of 334/6.
Shaggy McCosker top scored with 117 not out, Gregory Watson scored 78, and Luke Shuey scored 61.
Ireland also started well with a good opening partnership and also suffered a slight wobble in the middle order just like us, but unlike our batting they could not form big partnerships as our bowlers did really well to pick up regular wickets and restrict the runs to get them all out for 266, earning us a 70 run win.
Shawnie Sheahan was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 9.2-0-53-5 and Todd Voss provided good support with 3 wickets.
Player of the Day is shared between Shaggy McCosker and Shawnie Sheahan.

Re: Australian Team Zone
I apologize for not being able to post reviews of our other 4 matches, but I will do a summarized version of the overall tour.
After Game 1 we had 2 more Games on Hard pitches, followed by Game 4 on Uneven and Game 5 on Dry.
Game 2 vs New Zealand we won the toss again and opted to bat first.
We scored 367/6 led by centuries from debutants Tyrone Beaumont and Michael Braun.
Had a rough start with the ball but some great death bowling from us brought the game back in our favor and we managed to close things out for a close 11 run win, Maddox Wigley and Shawnie Sheahan picking up 3 wickets each.
Shawnie Sheahan was Player of the Day as his 3 wickets at the death were crucial in swinging the game our way.
Game 3 vs Kenya they won the toss and batted first.
We had a good start with the ball but their middle order rallied well to get them to 311/9. Peter Fleiter was the star with the ball as the wristie got figures of 10-2-28-2 in Hard/Sunny conditions.
Openers gave us a fast start and all batters chipped in with useful runs so we managed to win by 4 wickets. Robbo Dickie top scored with 77 and Player of the Day goes to Peter Fleiter for his outstanding bowling.
Game 4 vs Bermuda we won the toss and opted to bat first.
Lost 3 early wickets but rallied really well to post 287/6, led by 86 not out from Gregory Watson and 65 from Michael Braun.
They had a 93 run opening partnership but after that our bowlers made a good comeback and managed to get them all out for 237, giving us a 50 run win and confirming promotion.
Maddox Wigley was the star with the ball as he picked up 4 wickets, but Player of the Day goes to Orren Barsby for his 3 wickets and 38 runs with the bat.
Game 5 vs West Indies they won the toss and batted first.
Their top order gave them a great start but our death bowling was fantastic yet again as we managed to restrict them from 247/2 to 284/7.
Orren Barsby and Ashley Sampi picked up 3 wickets each.
Opener and captain Robin Greening anchored the chase with a fantastic century, scoring 117 off 119 balls and middle order chipped in as well with useful runs to guide us home to a narrow 2 wicket win.
Player of the Day is shared between Robin Greening and Orren Barsby.
We managed to win 5 out of 5 this tour and earn promotion back to Division 1, thank you all for your support.

Re: Australian Team Zone
Our T20 tour performance was way below-par as we could only manage 6 points which saw us relegated to Division 2.
We did get unlucky against India as we could only tie that game, a win would have seen us survive relegation, but the main reason was that our batting did not show up as middle order kept collapsing in the matches which undid all the hard work that the top order did in giving us good starts.
Focus shifts to the ODI tour where we find ourselves in Division 1 so the aim is to win the title.
