QUEENSLAND CRICKET With the Top End Tour scheduled for July and August 2003, Queensland Cricket continued its hosting preparations throughout the year, planning for Cairns to stage a Test and two one-day internationals against Bangladesh. History was also created at the Gabba in February when the venue staged the first women’s Ashes Test between Australia and England since 1984-85 – Julia Price representing Queensland in the women’s Test side. The state boasted several international representatives throughout the year. Andrew Bichel, Nathan Hauritz, Matthew Hayden, Jimmy Maher and Andrew Symonds played an important part in Australia’s victorious World Cup campaign, while the state also featured six representatives in Australia A squads, captained by Maher. Two Queenslanders made their international debuts during the year. Martin Love became Australia’s 385th Test player, while Melissa Bulow played her first limited-overs match for the Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars on its tour of New Zealand. Love, who played his 100th first-class match for Queensland during the year, was recognised for his outstanding domestic season at the Allan Border Medal presentation, claiming the State Player of the Year award. Love’s team-mate, young off-spinner Nathan Hauritz, was named Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year at the medal count, while Clinton Perren capped a memorable season to claim Pura Cup Player of the Year honours. Under new coach Terry Oliver, the Bulls advanced to their fourth consecutive Pura Cup final, but were defeated at home by the New South Wales Blues. Wicket-keeper Wade Seccombe passed 400 Pura Cup / Sheffield Shield dismissals for his state, while fast-bowler Michael Kasprowicz won the Ian Healy Trophy as the Bulls Player of the Year. Queensland’s female under-19 side broke through for the state’s first title at that level, completing the series undefeated to claim the Betty Wilson Shield. The team’s success saw six Queenslanders named in the Australian under-19 team. Luke Davis and Grant Sullivan were named in the Australian men’s under-19 side, Michael Philipson gained selection in the Australian under-17 development squad, while the Queensland Academy of Sport took out the 2002-03 Cricket Australia Cup. Away from the field, attendance figures at the Gabba reached new levels with 81,300 people flocking to the first Ashes Test over four days – the best since the Bodyline Series in 1933 and the second highest ever for Brisbane. The one-day international between Australia and Sri Lanka was a sell-out. Major sponsor XXXX also brought up its 10th year of sponsorship of Queensland Cricket in 2002-03. At board level, former Australian captain Allan Border assumed the vacancy left by the retirement of long-serving Director Dr Cam Battersby AM. Moving forward, plans begin for Queensland to host the Cricket Centre of Excellence from 2004.

State/Territory Associations The new-look Adelaide Oval will provide improved facilities for South Australian cricket fans. SOUTH AUSTRALIAN CRICKET ASSOCIATION Major highlights of the South Australian Cricket Association’s (SACA) year included work commencing on the $20 million redevelopment of the Adelaide Oval’s eastern side, the induction of 5800 new members and major sponsor, West End, renewing its commitment to South Australian cricket for a further five years. Highlights also extended to the international arena. Attendance figures soared with a sell-out crowd at the Australia-England VB Series match in January, while the largest crowd (78,508 people) since 1994-95 turned out for the second Test. In state competitions, Redbacks captain Darren Lehmann played his 100th first-class match for South Australia and surpassed 11,000 runs in the Pura Cup/Sheffield Shield. His vice-captain, Greg Blewett, celebrated his 200th first-class game. Blewett, who has scored more than 15,000 first-class runs, topped the 2002-03 Pura Cup run-scoring charts with 843 at an average of 49.58. Season 2002-03 was coach Greg Chappell’s sixth and final season with the Redbacks. He was replaced by former Commonwealth Bank Cricket Academy coach Wayne Phillips who assumes the coaching reins in 2003-04, a season which also heralds the arrival of new recruit, former Zimbabwe captain, Andy Flower. In women’s cricket, the South Australian Women’s Cricket Association and the SACA continued working towards creating a united and streamlined approach to the game. Under new coach Mark Sorell, the Southern Scorpions narrowly missed a finals berth in the Women’s National Cricket League, while captain Karen Rolton claimed her second consecutive Women’s International Cricketer of the Year award at the Allan Border Medal presentation. South Australia’s under-19 sides showed rapid progress, finishing second in the Commonwealth Bank Under-19 Championship Series for men. Three players from that team – Mark Cosgrove, Trent Kelly and Callum Ferguson – were elevated to the Redbacks list, making their senior state debuts during the season. Cosgrove, the Player of the Championship for the under-19 series, broke the record for the most runs scored in a single competition – 451 at an average of 75.16. The Adelaide Oval also hosted the annual Prime Minister’s XI versus ATSIC Chairman’s XI match in March, the first time the game had been staged outside Canberra. The SACA also launched its re-vamped website for fans and members.
