Youthful Tigers to meet NZ and NSW
AAP - 22 August 2002
HOBART - A youthful Tasmanian cricket team will go to Sydney for matches
against New Zealand and New South Wales early next month.
With many of its frontline players on international or English county
duties, last season's Pura Cup finalists will have only a small nucleus
of seasoned players.
Coach Brian McFadyen said it would be a good chance for youngsters and
fringe players to show what they could do.
In keeping with the learning experience, the captaincy will be rotated
for the three matches.
The Tigers will play a full strength New Zealand team, which will be
preparing for the Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka, in one-day matches on
September 4 and 5 at Davidson Oval.
It will then play a two-day game against NSW at Tunks Oval.
Included in the team is 22-year-old opening batsman Luke Williams, an
off-season signing from South Australia.
The team: George Bailey, Gerard Denton, Graeme Cunningham, Michael
Dighton, Xavier Doherty, Sean Clingeleffer, Shane Jurgensen, Daniel
Marsh, David Saker, Scott Mason, Shannon Tubb, Luke Williams.
