Caddick reduces WA to 5-128 at tea
AAP - 28 October 2002

PERTH, Oct 28 AAP - England quick Andy Caddick had restored some of the tourists' pride at tea on a rain-affected opening day of a three-day match against Western Australia at the WACA ground.

The New Zealand-born quick claimed three wickets to reduce the Warriors to 5-128 with Marcus North (31no) and Brad Hogg (5no) at the crease.

England captain Nasser Hussain won the toss for first use of a pitch with a little bit of life in it.

The WA openers made 21 before a 45-minute rain delay.

Shortly after resuming the innings Test opener Justin Langer (13) was dismissed after a sharp catch in close by John Crawley.

Caddick (3-28) looked like he had found his line and length on the bouncy WACA pitch and continued his penetrating line after lunch, sparking a batting collapse from 1-51 to 4-54.

Caddick had Chris Rogers (7) edge one through to wicketkeeper Alec Stewart before Stephen Harmison (2-15) had Scott Meuleman (21) feathering one down the leg side for Stewart's second catch.

Caddick then removed Michael Hussey for a duck having him caught at third slip by Marcus Trescothick.

Enter the aggressive Ryan Campbell who put on a 66-run fourth wicket partnership with North.

Campbell's quickfire knock ended when tried to hook Harmison but top-edged a simple catch to Caddick at fine leg for 37.
