CRICKET AUSTRALIA CUP, 2002-03
Only mathematical quotients separated four sides in the final
table positions of the 2002-03 Cricket Australia Cup. Queensland,
New South Wales, South Australia and Tasmania finished the
national second XI competition with 18 points apiece.
With no competition final to settle the ladder positions,
Queensland was declared the winner after finishing 0.010
quotient points higher than second-place New South Wales
(quotient points are calculated as runs-per-wicket scored
divided by runs-per-wicket conceded).
The win denied New South Wales consecutive titles.
South Australia and Tasmania rounded out the top four, while
Western Australia and Victoria each finished with 16 points.
The Australian Capital Territory ended the series on six points,
but showed its promise to deliver, with batsmen David Dawson
and Cade Brown featuring in the top five of series run-scorers.
Twenty-year-old Dawson, a member of the Commonwealth
Bank Cricket Academy, topped the run charts with his 552 at an
average of 50.18. Queensland Academy of Sport batsman Daniel
Payne finished second with 398 runs at 39.80.
The four-day match format proved appetising for batsmen and
bowlers alike, providing opportunity to showcase their skills
during the 21-match series.
Left-arm medium pacer Andrew Downton headed the
wicket-takers’ list, claiming 25 scalps at an average of 23.12.
The Tasmanian’s best figures of 6-29 came against eventual
champions, the Queensland Academy of Sport, at Allan
Border Field.
The wicket-taker’s list also featured first-class players
Brad Young (23 wickets), Don Nash (20) Scott Brant (17) and
Queensland Bulls-contracted rookie Steve Magoffin (21).
The purpose of the Cricket Australia Cup is to provide fringe
state players with the opportunity to perform on a national stage
at a level above grade cricket, and to make the transition to
first-class cricket easier.
