BELINDA CLARK REWRITES WOMEN’S TEST RECORD Women’s captain Belinda Clark became Australia’s highest Test run-scorer during the first Ashes Test at the Gabba in February, surpassing the previous mark set by the great Betty Wilson in 1957-58. Chasing 139 runs for victory in the first Test, Clark made the most of her opportunities against arch-rival England, top scoring for the Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars with 47 runs in her 12th Test match. The feat took her career Test run total past Wilson’s record of 862 runs, and guided Australia to a five-wicket victory and an unassailable 1-0 Ashes series lead. Clark added to her Test tally in the second Ashes Test at Bankstown, bringing her impressive career profile to 899 runs from 13 appearances at an average of 56.18. A pioneer of women’s cricket in the post-war era, Wilson’s 862 runs came from 11 Tests between 1947-48 and 1957-58 in which she also claimed 68 wickets. Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars Ashes series.

GLENN McGRATH BREAKS THE 400 TEST WICKET MARK Glenn McGrath’s long-time dominance with the ball took him past 400 Test wickets in the third Test of the Travelex Tour against Pakistan in Sharjah during October. McGrath, who finished the match with seven wickets to his name, reached the mark when he had Pakistan captain Waqar Younis trapped leg before wicket in the first innings. In achieving the milestone, he became just the eighth player in cricket history to reach 400 Test wickets and the second Australian to do so, joining team-mate Shane Warne. The New South Welshman is now the sixth most successful bowler of all-time, having claimed 425 career wickets at the close of the financial year. 47 Australian captain Belinda Clark became the nation’s highest Test run-scorer in the women’s game. There it is. Glenn McGrath became just the eighth bowler in history to pass the 400-Test wicket mark.
Tributes and Milestones Stuart MacGill claimed his 100th Test wicket during Australia’s successful Travelex Tour of the West Indies. Top. The power of Love. Queenslander Martin Love became the 385th Australian to wear the baggy green cap when he made his Test debut against England in Melbourne. Bottom. Exciting youngster Michael Clarke in action during his one-day international debut against England. STUART MACGILL REACHES A CENTURY OF HIS OWN Leg-spinner Stuart MacGill carved his own piece of cricket history at Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad during April, when he claimed the wicket of West Indies wicket-keeper, Carlton Baugh. The wicket was MacGill’s 100th Test victim. He becomes the 30th Australian to reach the 100-wicket milestone, and only the fifth leg-spinner to have achieved the mark. INTERNATIONAL DEBUTS MARTIN LOVE AND MICHAEL CLARKE Melbourne’s Boxing Day Test saw Martin Love become Australia’s 385th Test player when he made his debut against England in December. The typically composed Queenslander had little trouble adjusting to the pressures of international cricket, and greatly impressed the strong second-day crowd with his delicate stroke play and shot selection. Love featured in a 151-run stand for the fifth wicket alongside Justin Langer, scoring an unbeaten 62 before Steve Waugh declared the innings at 6-551. His influence also extended well beyond the crease, playing a hand in four English dismissals with a polished display of sharp slips catching. In the shortened form of the game, exciting prospect Michael Clarke made his one-day international debut against England in the VB Series match at Adelaide Oval on 19 January 2003. His attacking style at the crease saw him make an unbeaten 39 runs off 47 balls. Clarke, the 149th player to represent Australia at one-day international level, was rewarded with selection in the Australian squad for the Travelex Tour of the West Indies in May, scoring two successive unbeaten half-centuries. 48
