Australia have beaten New Zealand in a high-scoring final at the inaugural international Over-55s series in Queensland. Australia amassed 353/6 (the 6th-highest score in all IMC matches), with both openers (John Mensforth and Paul Ryan) scoring 80s and then Clint Keble smashing 73* from 42. NZ Captain Scott McHardy took 3/64.New Zealand had chased down targets of 294 and 315 already in this series, so they would not have been daunted by the massive target. Martin Pike played beautifully again en route to his second successive century (102 from 98 balls). Pike became only the second player (after Wales Over 50s Cricket' Ali Bukhari) to score 100s in his first two IMC matches.McHardy hit 59 and Scott Pender 66 but the asking rate was just too high and NZ fell 62 runs short. Richard Saniga took 3/55 for the Aussies.Scorecard: www.playhq.com/cricket-australia/org/veterans-cricket-australia/international-competitions-winter...(These matches are officially recognised in the newly formed over-55s age group although IMC has no plans to split the over-50s into two age groups. Australia is the only country that currently has an over-55s programme, but this could change in the future.) ... See MoreSee Less
