Profile
Although the 2007 World Cricket League in Kenya was a disappointment for Ireland, Bray returned with a one-day century to his name when he hit 116 from 136 against Scotland. It came in a losing cause but enhanced the notion that Ireland have as strong a batting line-up as any of the associate nations. He was born in Australia and represented New South Wales and Australia Under-19s. He was Player of the Tournament in the 1992-93 Australian Under-19 Cricket Championships in Brisbane and top scored for Ireland with 71 in their famous win against the West Indies in 2004. He held the highest ever first-class score by an Irishman with his 190 against the UAE in the 2005 Intercontinental Cup until Eoin Morgan surpassed that with his double century against the same opponents earlier this year. A powerful hundred against Zimbabwe in the 2007 World Cup - a match tied - was followed by limp performances thereafter, though, as the Full Member nations exposed his weakness against short-pitched fast bowling.
