London: Brisbane-born carpenter Alex Cusack took to international cricket right from the moment he made his debut for his adopted country of Ireland.
In a one-day international, against South Africa in Belfast in 2007, he scored a brisk 36 and took three wickets for 15 runs with his medium-pacers to win the man-of-the-match award.
The year of 2007 was a memorable one for Irish cricket in general, and not just Cusack in particular, with the national side knocking Pakistan out of the World Cup in the Caribbean.
Ireland have been getting used to Caribbean conditions this month with one-dayers against the West Indies and a series of other tour matches and Cusack is relishing his first experience of cricket in the region.
"I'm pretty sure the rest of the guys who were out there in 2007 are pretty excited to be heading back to the islands," he told the ICC website. "It should be good and I'm really looking forward to the whole experience.
Ireland have been drawn alongside England and the West Indies in Guyana and Cusack said: "It's a tough group. Both England and West Indies are good sides and on their day they can do well but I don't think there is a huge difference between any of the sides.
"It just depends on the day really. Hopefully we can play our best and maybe get an upset."
The 29-year-old Cusack, who decided to live in Ireland in 2005, is looking forward to making an impact in what he says is his favourite form of cricket.
"I suppose I enjoy Twenty20 cricket because it's a lot shorter, it's fast paced, you have to think on your feet, you can just come in and go for it rather than think too hard - it's all good fun.
"Whether it's more of a batsman's or bowler's game, I think it depends on if you're on a good wicket or not."
He added: "More often than not it's a batsman's game but the bowlers can come into it.
"Especially the spinners who can pick up a few wickets here and there - I think anyone can change the course of a game during its duration but I'd say mainly it's the batsmen that do it."
