Travis Birt
Travis Rodney Birt (born 9 December 1981) is an Australian cricketer currently contracted domestically to the Hobart Hurricanes. A left-handed batsman, Birt represented the Australian national under-19 team before making his debut for Tasmania during the 2003–04 season. Strong form at state level led to his selection for Australia A during the 2006 off-season, as well as a two-year stint with Derbyshire in English county cricket. Birt transferred to Western Australia for the 2011–12 season, but has found more success in the Twenty20 format, variously representing the Wellington Firebirds, Delhi Daredevils, Nagenahira Nagas, and Khulna Royal Bengals in New Zealand, Indian, Sri Lankan, and Bangladeshi domestic tournaments, respectively. Birt made his Twenty20 International debut for Australia in February 2010, and has played a total of four matches for the team, with his last international match coming in February 2012.
==Early cricket career==
After an outstanding 2005–06 season in which he was selected for the Australia A cricket team, Birt produced a couple of consistent if unexceptional seasons for Tasmania. His main problem has been an inability to turn starts into first-class centuries. In 2006–07 he was part of the [Tasmania triumphant Pura Cup side and made 736 runs at 38.73 with one hundred, and the next season he collected 565 runs at 31.38 without once reaching triple-figures. Still, he was one of five men to play every Pura Cup game for the state last summer and with the retirement of Michael Di Venuto his importance in the top order will grow. He is already a key man in the one-day setup and his calm batting in the low-scoring FR Cup final last season won the title for Tasmania. Birt top scored against Victoria with an unbeaten 37 and coolly struck the winning runs with the No. 11 Ben Hilfenhaus at the other end, to complete a strong season that brought him 355 runs at 44.37.
A heavy-hitting left-hander who enjoys blasting sixes, Birt secured a reputation for brutal strokeplay when he posted 145 against South Australia in 2004–05, the highest score in Tasmania's one-day history. He made his first-class debut in the same season but had to wait until the following year to feel at ease at the next level. Opposition bowlers did not feel comfortable as only Darren Lehmann and Jimmy Maher made more Pura Cup runs than Birt's 850 at 50. New South Wales felt his impact during an innings of 160, which included seven sixes and 19 fours, and he also shared a state-record partnership of 292 for the fourth wicket with George Bailey when making 140 against South Australia. A former Academy and Australia Under-19 player who relocated from country Victoria, Birt has spent time playing with Derbyshire but did not return there in 2008 and instead had hip surgery during the off-season.
