The Australian 60's made it 5 from 5 overnight, beating hosts Canada.

Australia batted first, scoring over 220 runs. Canada was restricted by some miserly bowling from the Australians, including the debut of Doug Murphy in the bowling ranks (all-rounder status?).

TP was his usual miserly self, taking 3/8 off four overs.

An excellent all round performance.
