mark cosgrove

mark james cosgrove -lrb- born 14 june 1984 , in elizabeth , south australia -rrb- is a left-handed batsman and part-time medium pace bowler .
in 2005 cosgrove was named the bradman young player of the year .
nevertheless , he was dropped from the state squad in early 2005 because of claims that he was overweight , but was reinstated a few months later .
cosgrove debuted internationally with a one day international against bangladesh at narayanganj osmani stadium , fatullah on 28 april 2006 , responding with an aggressive half-century .
he was signed by glamorgan in 2006 for the english summer , and was regarded as a dark horse for selection in the 2007 world cup ; however , a poor 2006 -- 07 season with south australia meant he was not selected .
in 2007 he declined an offer to return to glamorgan , instead joining the centre of excellence in australia at the request of national chairman of selectors andrew hilditch .
on 25 july 2007 , cosgrove was suspended from the centre of excellence for disciplinary reasons .
on 28 september 2009 he once again signed to glamorgan as their overseas player for the summer season .
on 13 april 2010 , while still only 25 , cosgrove was overlooked on a contract with south australia and ended an eventful eight years with the state .
jamie cox , the state 's director of cricket , said he had not fulfilled his potential .
`` mark has made a valuable contribution to south australian cricket over many years , and i certainly hope there are other opportunities out there for him , '' cox said .
`` we have worked hard with him during this time , but the unfortunate reality is that we were unable to help him fulfil his full potential . ''
the decision comes after cosgrove scored 511 first-class runs in 2009/10 , including two hundreds , and also averaged more than 40 in the one-day competition .
he contributed as south australia progressed to the twenty20 domestic final , but was not a part of the squad for the lucrative champions league later in the year .
cosgrove signed a new contract for the 2010/11 season with tasmania and scored 806 shield runs , the most in the competition .
the following season was less successful , cosgrove making 347 shield runs at 34.7 .
in the ryobi cup -lrb- 50 over -rrb- competition , cosgrove made 203 runs -lrb- third-highest for tasmania -rrb- at 22.25 , but played only one game in the big bash league -lrb- 20-20 comp -rrb- for the hobart hurricanes .
in 2012/2013 cosgrove scored 784 runs -lrb- avg .
39.2 -rrb- in the sheffield shield , the second-highest aggregate in the comp behind tasmanian team-mate ricky ponting.cosgrove was less successful in limited over cricket , scoring just 51 runs in 4 games in the ryobi cup and 61 runs in 5 big bash league games , for the sydney thunder .
