Australia A v England and Sri Lanka
Australia A contested four limited-over matches against touring
sides England and Sri Lanka in December/January, and a threeday
match against the Ashes rival at Hobart in November.
Captain Jimmy Maher led Australia A to a draw in its three-day
tour match against England, despite an unbeaten double
century (201) from Martin Love and a half-century from Michael
Clarke. The pair helped Australia A post a first innings total of
3-353 and then establish a 170-run lead after dismissing
England for 183.
Western Australia spearhead Brad Williams broke through the
England line-up, snaring 5-52 from 18 overs.
England responded in its second innings, with Robert Key (174*)
and John Crawley (55*) combining to stave off any hopes of an
Australia A outright victory.
In its limited-over matches, Australia A won three from four
encounters, defeating England by 23 runs in Brisbane, and twice
overcoming Sri Lanka by 102 runs at the Gabba, and by
10 wickets in Adelaide.
Highlights from the one-day series saw Jimmy Maher score a
superb century (106) against Sri Lanka, Brad Hogg stake his
claim for a spot in Australia’s World Cup squad, and Ryan
Campbell entertain crowds with his unorthodox, yet quick-fire
stroke play.
