Michael Anthony Beer (born 9 June 1984) is an Australian former
Early life
Beer grew up in the Melbourne suburb of Malvern and played his junior cricket for Malvern Cricket Club in the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association. His family had strong ties with the club and his father was part of the club's "Team of the Century". He attended De La Salle College, which resides opposite the Malvern Cricket Ground and graduated in 2002. He made his way into the club's First XI before leaving to play with Victorian Premier Cricket club St Kilda when he was 17.[2]
Domestic career
Beer had some success with St Kilda, taking over 100 wickets in two seasons and twice being selected in the Premier Cricket teams of the year.
In the 2016–17 season Beer represented Victoria in the Matador Cup domestic one day competition. In his first game for his home state, Beer took a hat trick,[7] becoming only the seventh Australian domestic bowler to take a one-day domestic hat trick, taking it across two overs against South Australia at the WACA Ground.[citation needed]
International career
In December 2010, after playing only five
Beer was denied his maiden Test wicket when a catch by Ben Hilfenhaus at mid-off from England's opener Alastair Cook was overturned after a front-foot no ball.[14] He claimed his first Test wicket by dismissing Paul Collingwood for 13, with the catch completed by Hilfenhaus at deep mid-on.[15] Beer was the last batsman to be dismissed in Australia's second innings in the match, enabling England to complete a victory by an innings and 83 runs and a 3–1 series win. He had made two runs in the second innings to add to the two not out he had made in the first innings.
Beer was picked for Australia's 2012 tour to the West Indies. He was not picked for the first Test, but in the second Test, he opened the bowling in both West Indies' innings.
