AUSTRALIA WIN QUAD SERIES TITLE WITH 4-WICKET WIN ![]()
![]()
Australia have won another series, defeating USA by 4 wickets in Houston. (The tournament also included Australia A and USA A.)![]()
![]()
USA's total of 220/9 was a stop-start affair. Fazal Alam fell early but Rafay Kazi (20) and Paresh Deshmukh (73) added 78 before 2 wickets fell in a Glenn Cleary over, including a stunning one-handed catch to Jason Lavender (see pic below). Then wickets fell regularly until Ketan Patel (53) and Naseer Islam (28) put on 51 to give the Americans something to defend.![]()

James "Spider" Morris was again a difficult proposition, taking 3/47, and Cleary's spin was hard to get away, as he took 3/26 from 9 tight overs.![]()

Australia were never really challenged by the middling target, despite losing 6 wickets. Justin Poole continued the great start to his over-50s career, easing his way to 93 before he fell victim to a curious stumping decision by former international umpire Steve Bucknor. All of the top 7 Australian batters reached double figures and the Aussies got home with an over to spare. Naseer Islam capped off a good all-round day, taking 3/29 (9).![]()
