ADF easily beaten

AFTER the ASCA National Team was selected, it played the Queensland Under-19s Team in a two-day match.

Again, Defence batsmen struggled on the slow wicket with the bowlers dominating the carnival.

The first day's play was even and, as a result seemed unlikely, a decision was made to change the two day match to a one day event the following day.

The U19s scored 259 runs from their 50 overs and ASCA, which was cruising at 4/150, were finally all out for 165.

This carnival was the first selection process for the impending tour to the UK by the National Team, anticipated to be in July 2005, which will retrace the steps of the first Services' side to tour there in 1945.
