Master Blasters

Explosive all-rounder Chris Cairns plays “one of the great one-day international innings in the 22-year history of the game […] When he is on song, no oval in the world is big enough to contain him”. The team’s ability to fight back and win receives high praise in Australian newspapers: “they simply refuse to accept they are beaten”, remarks the Sunday Herald. Fleming is hailed as the “best young captain in the game”, and Warne is flogged out of the Aussie attack.
