With Australia at 152/9, Canada looked all set for a historic victory. But a stubborn No 11 in Hugh Trumble and batting prodigy in Clem Hill defied all odds to overcome their opponents.

Remarkable bowling display by the team, specially Tom Richardson. Going same
 
Again A poor performance from top order. We won because of Clem Hill and lower order Batsmans played sensibly.

Hoping a better performance next time. :)

Well, it was a definite disappointment to lose against the mother country, but not surprising. That really is cricket's first great side.

Only one change to the American side - Reynolds Brown moves down to number nine in the batting order. No other change.

@VC the slogger I am not sure why are you using Union Jack instead of Australian flag in the thread. IIRC they used the Australian Federation flag till 1903.
