Information About

Australia A Cricket Team




In the Australian summer of 1994-95, the (then) Benson And Hedges World Series Cup was expanded to involve four teams instead of the usual three – Australia, England, Zimbabwe and Australia A (though games involving Australia A are not considered official One-day Internationals). In a shock result, the Australia A team (captained by Damien Martyn and featuring up-and-comers such as Ricky Ponting , Matthew Hayden and Greg Blewett , as well as veterans – wicket-keeper Phil Emery and pacemen Paul Reiffel and Merv Hughes ) ousted England from the series and went into the best-of-3 final against Australia. They were swept 2-0, but it was unquestionably a display of the next generation of Australia's prowess. Many of the 1994-95 A players later played for Australia.
