Your support makes all the difference.JAMES BOILING rescued England A from almost certain defeat against Tasmania in Launceston yesterday. Boiling, a last-minute tour replacement for Ian Salisbury, took 3 for 0 in 10 balls to end Tasmania's victory charge.
After Tasmania had declared overnight for 159 without loss, Martyn Moxon's declaration at 92 for 1 set them 354 runs to win. A Tasmanian record second-wicket stand of 202 runs in 47 overs between Dene Hills and Jamie Cox brought victory in sight, but the run-chase petered out after Jack Russell ran out Cox for 115.
Dominic Cork, the all-rounder who was criticised by local newspapers for his displays of petulance when he had a series of lbw appeals turned down during Tasmania's first innings, was admonished by the England A team manager, Mike Vockins, yesterday.
'There was no reprimand for Cork and no complaints from the umpires,' Vockins said. 'Cork was reminded his energies in the middle should be devoted to bowling.'
