FOR MEDIA29 NOVEMBER 1986
In close co-operation and consultation with the Australian
Cricket Board and the Chairman of Selectors, Mr Laurie
Sawle, I have selected the following players to represent
the Prime Minister's XI against England at Manuka Oval,
Canberra, on 23 December 1986:
Allan Border
Glenn Bishop
Roger Brown
Michael Dimattina
Brett Henschell
Tom Moody
Simon O'Donnell
Jamie Siddons
Dirk Tazelaar
Mike Veletta
Michael Whitney
Murray Christie ( Qld) ( Capt)
( SA)
( Tas)
( Vic)
( Qld)
( WA)
( Vic)
( Vic)
( Qld)
( WA)
( NSW)
( ACT) 12th Man
I am confident that this team will provide effective and
entertaining opposition for the English team, whose
performance and morale have obviously been lifted by
Ian Botham's outstanding effort in the 1st Test in Brisbane.
In a short period the Prime Minister's XI fixture has become
a highlight on the calendar of Canberra cricket lovers and I
am sure that this year's match will be no exception.
