Australia Cricket Tour 2012

Result: Felsted 180 all out  Newington 181-9 Lost by 1 wicket

Review: This game ended up a nail biting affair after Felsted batting first had squandered the chance to score the 220 that would have won the game. R Hussain (57) batted well, but fell with 20 overs left and the incoming batsmen struggled to finish the innings off. The extra bounce in the wickets was unsettling most and understandably the boys on foreign soil were taking time to adjust coming off the wickets at home, that don't challenge back foot play as much.

Player of the match: Rhys Hussain

Result: Tour Match 1: Felsted 117-8 beat Newington College 85-8 by 32 runs

Review: The tour party arrived at Sydney Monday 10.12.12 at 9pm and had a smooth transition to Newington College to bed down for the night. The next day comprised of a swim and nets in the morning and lunch in Enmore before the chosen XI played Newington in a 20/20 match. The wicket was damp and the weather very home like and it inspired Ashleigh Cox the youngest tour member to hold the innings together with a fine 40. The wicket took plenty of turn and with the XI comprising of several the total of 117, although light of the 130 we sshould have got proved enough. Joshua HJ also scored a quick 26 in proceedings before the bowlers all took wickets. Adam Sellers with his OS took 2 key wickets and Rory Burns dealt with the top order with 2 early wickets.

Player of the match: Ashleigh Cox
