Aussies blow out cobwebs against AIS
Posted
Australia has won its one-day match against the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in Darwin thanks to some devastating bowling by Mitchell Johnson and the steady batting hand of Michael Hussey.
In a tight and dour affair Australia was bowled out for 177 in 48 overs with Hussey the only batsman to make a real impact with a solid 69 off 95 balls.
In response, the AIS' innings began slowly and carefully until Mitchell Johnson began a stunning spell which included three quick wickets.
From there Australia was in control and eventually bowled the AIS out for 119 in 34 overs.
Johnson finished with figures of 3 for 5 of five overs. Michael Hill was the best of the batsman for the AIS, scoring 35.
