Awesome series.

most of the team went on to become the backbone of the next all-conquering Australian side.

Damien Martyn and Ricky Ponting there too.

As good as Tubby, Slats, Boonie etc were those guys were another level of awesome.

I don’t remember big Merv in Aus A but there he is in the pic !

Aus A had a who’s who of a batting line up but check the bowlers in comparison…..a bunch of absolute nobodies

….and over the ditch Blairs Hartland and Pocock were opening the batting for us. Definitely a period where you watched cricket over there in awe of how amazing they were compared to us.
