When the Australia A team first took the field the public looked upon expectedly as the cream of the next generation of Australian cricket stars went on show. Ponting, Hayden, Langer, Martyn, Lehmann and more would all go on to have distinguished careers of which this summer was but a footnote. But for a few, their Australia A experience was the pinnacle of their careers.

Arguably the player most associated with the concept was pacemen Greg Rowell. Greg talks to us about his journey to a summer in the spotlight, how the Australia A team came together and his battles with the champions of Australian cricket that season. All experiences that he owes to the summer of Australia A.
