Peter James Forrest (born 15 November 1985, in Windsor, New South Wales) is a professional Australian cricketer who currently plays for the Queensland Bulls. He also played 15 ODIs for Australian cricket team in 2012.

Domestic Career

With a rookie contract in the 2006-07 season, Forrest made his first-class debut for New South Wales against Queensland on 1 March 2007. In this match he scored an impressive 40 in the first innings and remained unbeaten on 5 in the second innings. After solid performances in early Pura Cup games, outstanding results in the Cricket Australia Cup and notable consistency for Hawkesbury in Grade Cricket, Forrest received his first full contract for New South Wales ahead of the 2007-08 season.[1]

Forrest made his List A debut against Western Australia on 12 October 2007, scoring 5 in a steep run chase.[2]

In November 2007, Forrest scored his first first-class century against Tasmania at the Sydney Cricket Ground, hitting 177 runs including 21 fours and two sixes.[3]

In February 2010 it was announced that Forrest would be the professional for Lancashire League side Nelson Cricket Club for the 2010 season.[4] Forrest moved from New South Wales to the Queensland Bulls from the 2011–12 Australian season.[5]

Peter Forrest has a tattoo of his mother's name, Vanda, on his right arm, in memory of her, after she died of cancer when he was 18 years old.[6] Contrary to recent popular belief, he has never been a Bondi lifesaver.

International career

In January 2012, Forrest was selected in the 14 man One Day International squad for Australia, to take part in the tri series against India and Sri Lanka.[7] This came after many impressive performances with both the Bulls and Brisbane's Big Bash League side the Brisbane Heat, which he captained for the majority of the tournament in injured skipper James Hopes' place.[8]

In February 2012, Peter Forrest made his ODI debut against Indian cricket team at the Adelaide Oval. In his debut innings he scored 66 runs of 83 balls.[9]
He hit his second ODI fifty against India on 19 February 2012 at The Gabba. He scored 52 runs off 71 balls before being dismissed by Irfan Pathan.[10]

He scored his first One Day international century against Sri Lanka at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on 24 February 2012.[11]
