England v Prime Minister's XI
Manuka Oval, Canberra, 9 November 1994

The Australian Prime Minister`s XI narrowly defeated the  England
side.

Allan Border came out of retirement to lead the team.  He won the
toss, and elected to bowl.  After 46.3 overs, England was all out
143.  Atherton top-scored for his side with 31.  Victorian bowler
James  Cook,  and  WA  all-rounder  Brendan Julian both got three
wickets.  Tasmanian wicket-keeper Mark Atkinson got five catches,
including a great catch to dimiss Greame Hick for a duck.

In reply the Australians made the required runs with 2 wickets to
spare, 8/144.  Lehmann starred with a 43 but was stumped off Tuf-
nell.  This brought on a middle order collapse. In  the end   NSW
all-rounder  Shane Lee, and Queensland bowler Greg Rowell got the
required runs.
