Basingstoke & North Hants vet Keith Harsham bowled an immaculate ten-over spell with the new ball to set up a four-wicket victory for England Seniors over their Australian counterparts in the opening Sixties One Day International at the Bradman Oval in Bowral.
The May's Bounty all-rounder returned a miserly 2-15, trapping top order pair Mark Gaskell and Wayne Broad before the Australians were contained to 152-7 off their 50 overs.
England got home with nine balls to spare, Harsham seeing the tourists across the line with an unbeaten 11 after the tourists had wobbled at 123-6, still needing 30 to win when he came to the crease.
Interestingly, neither side bowled a wide or a no-ball in the entire match.
