2nd Test
Having lost the first Test convincly against Australia, the CW XI looked to bounce back in the second with some sort of moral booster. A Cloete first innings century set the match on it's way for a draw, but after Australia racked up 326/2 dec. in 81.1 overs, the CW XI were left needing to bat for 50 and score 366 runs for victory.

Cloete 240 vs Sri Lanka at Kandy
3rd Test
Facing a 1-0 scoreline entering the 3rd Test of 4-Test match, the CW XI surrendered a 173-run first innings lead to the hosts Sri Lanka. Still with some 174 overs left in the match, Murali primed and Vaas coming off 6/55 in the first innings, a stand-up sort of innings was needed. Once more it would be Cloete to provide that innings, batting for over 6 hours and facing 306 balls, he scored 240 with 45 fours and 2 sixes. Muralitharan went on to take 6/139 in the innings, but never really trouble Cloete and he took the attack to the champion offspinner. The game was drawn.
