International Tour Match - South Australia v England
Thursday 11 November to Saturday 13 November

The South Australian Cricket Association is pleased to announce that Adelaide Oval's new Western Grandstand will open its doors to Members for the first time this week as South Australia host England in its three day International Tour Match starting here on Thursday.

The match will provide a preview into what will be scintillating summer of Ashes cricket and a chance for the local boys to square the ledger after the tourists kicked off their campaign with a comfortable win over Western Australia last week.

The match will also provide the first opportunity for you and your guests to enjoy spectacular views of the action from your new Western Grandstand. Offering a unique perspective of the iconic ground from premium seating and hospitality areas over four levels, we are sure you will agree that this state-of-the-art facility has been well worth the wait and we encourage all Members to bring along their friends and family to share the experience. For more information about getting in and around your new stand, including a map of the new Members' enclosure, click here.

SACA would also like to take this opportunity to thank all South Australians who have supported the construction of this wonderful facility and so we extend an invitation for all cricket fans to experience a day in the new Western Grandstand. For one day only, on Saturday 13 November, Adelaide Oval will open its doors for all ticket holders to enjoy the 'Members' experience' and share in this special part of the Oval's history.

I made a comment that I wanted to see Ed Cowan play for Aus...

It may only be Aus A, but it may be as close as I get...

Hope he nails them!

England have confirmed that their first-choice bowling attack will travel to Brisbane early to prepare for the first Test and therefore miss the final tour match against Australia A in Hobart. James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Steven Finn and Graeme Swann will leave the main squad on Wednesday and head to Queensland to being their acclimatisation for the opening Ashes encounter.

Make it a bit easier for the Australia A boys to get some runs on the board

Clint McKay has been added to the Australia A team to take on England in Hobart, after the young left-armer Mitchell Starc was ruled out with a side strain. Starc picked up the injury bowling for New South Wales in their Sheffield Shield match against Victoria last week, but the selectors were waiting to assess the fitness of Ryan Harris before naming a replacement.

Australia A Ed Cowan, Phillip Hughes, Usman Khawaja, Cameron White (capt), Callum Ferguson, Tim Paine (wk), Steven Smith, Steve O'Keefe, Clint McKay, Mark Cameron, Peter George.

When is the match against Aus A starting?

[Sorry Dude]

It is just about to start. I am watching it on the cricinfo website. England won the toss and sent AusA in to bat.

When is the match against Aus A starting?

AusA - 1/4
PJ Hughes c Strauss b Tremlett 2 (11m 13b 0x4 0x6) SR: 15.38

[Gingernuts]

7.2 Shahzad to Khawaja, no run, plays and misses outside off

First instinct would not be that this was Aust A vs England.

Hughes is in danger of disappearing into 'could've beens' obscurity.....
