BCCP XI v Australia 'B' - 3 Day Match - 1986/7 - Australia 1st Innings

BCCP XI v Australia 'B' - 3 Day Match - Faisalabad - 3rd November 1986/7

At the request of the Australia 'B' tour management, a third 3 Day friendly was arranged as a warm up for the 3rd and final Unofficial Test.

Toss: Australia 'B'

Pitch: 16

Australia 'B' won the toss and batted, intent on more batting practice before final Unofficial Test.
Mark Taylor and Mike Veletta both fell cheaply, the inexperienced Taylor's tour a tale of woe after such a promising beginning.
Tom Moody and Greg Ritchie ensured the advantage of the toss wasn't wasted, feasting on the bowling as they added an unbroken 242* for the 3rd wicket.
Both posted powerful centuries, before O'Donnell declared on 258/2 , intent on batting a 2nd time to give as many of his batsmen a chance to find form as possible.
For Moody it was his 3rd century of a productive tour.
The home attack struggled after their initial breakthroughs, looking below First Class standard in a disappointing display.
