But Butcher and Simon Jones batted with grit and put on 91 for the seventh wicket before Jones was for 32, Hoggard was out for 0 with Butcher running out of partners at the other end on 75. England ended up finishing on 8/188, a decent score after the trouble they were in. Butcher made 92 not out and Kasprowicz took 3/40 from 10.
Australia made a careful but comfortable start, Hayden was out for 22. After that both batsman went on the attack, Ponting fell for a quickly made 26.

Match Report – Four-Day Friendly – Australia vs. MCC:
MCC won the toss and elected to bat, the pitch was pretty even and good for batting. Lee and Kasprowicz charged in and bowled tightly early on but towards the end of their spells the MCC batsman got on top and the score was 0/62(16o). It wasn’t until 147 runs were on the board when the first wicket fell and the next one fell 1 run after, the score was 2/150(45o). At one stage they were 4/255 but they then lost 6/63 in a collapse mostly triggered by the part time spin of Clarke and Symonds. They were all out for 318 with Pearson making 120, The best of the Aussie bowlers were Clarke with 3/28 and Symonds with 2/36.
Australia got off to an aggressive start scoring at 5 runs in the early going but Langer fell for 15. In came Katich to combine with Hussey for an even 100 stand before Katich fell for 49, Hussey fell next for 75 and the score following his dismissal was 3/170. Symonds came out in a very aggressive mood and scored an amazing 22 ball fifty! He was later dismissed after exhilarating 61 off an 27 balls. Lehmann reached his hundred soon after and Clarke was out for a very well compiled 79. Haddin came in and made a quick 44, After Lehmann was dismissed for 146 Australia declared there innings closed 176 runs ahead of MCC.
The MCC opener put on another 100+ opening stand, Kasprowicz finally got the first breakthrough. Kasprowicz and Cullen bowled a nice spell in tandom picking up 4 wickets between them. After 60 overs there score was 5/177. They were all out for 281 with Pearson top scoring again with 71 and Cullen bowling impressively taking 4/99.

Coach's Comment:"Good win considering the two MCC openers put on over 100 in both innings. Nice innings by Boof and i was very pleased with the bowling from young Dan Cullen, he looks a great future prospect for the team"
MCC won the toss and elected to bat, the pitch was pretty even and good for batting. Lee and Kasprowicz charged in and bowled tightly early on but towards the end of their spells the MCC batsman got on top and the score was 0/62(16o). It wasn’t until 147 runs were on the board when the first wicket fell and the next one fell 1 run after, the score was 2/150(45o). At one stage they were 4/255 but they then lost 6/63 in a collapse mostly triggered by the part time spin of Clarke and Symonds. They were all out for 318 with Pearson making 120, The best of the Aussie bowlers were Clarke with 3/28 and Symonds with 2/36.
Australia got off to an aggressive start scoring at 5 runs in the early going but Langer fell for 15. In came Katich to combine with Hussey for an even 100 stand before Katich fell for 49, Hussey fell next for 75 and the score following his dismissal was 3/170. Symonds came out in a very aggressive mood and scored an amazing 22 ball fifty! He was later dismissed after exhilarating 61 off an 27 balls. Lehmann reached his hundred soon after and Clarke was out for a very well compiled 79. Haddin came in and made a quick 44, After Lehmann was dismissed for 146 Australia declared there innings closed 176 runs ahead of MCC.
The MCC opener put on another 100+ opening stand, Kasprowicz finally got the first breakthrough. Kasprowicz and Cullen bowled a nice spell in tandom picking up 4 wickets between them. After 60 overs there score was 5/177. They were all out for 281 with Pearson top scoring again with 71 and Cullen bowling impressively taking 4/99.
The Australian openers strode out needing 106 runs to win from 2 and ½ sessions. They got their easily without losing any wickets. 0/106(23.3o), Langer made 65 and Hussey made 40.
