PAUL PRICHARD led a rescue operation for England A who were struggling against the spin attack of the Australian Cricket Academy on the first day of their four-day match in Melbourne yesterday.
Prichard shared stands with Jack Russell and Andy Caddick in scoring his second half-century in four innings, and managed to steer the side from 95 for 5 to a fairly respectable 220 all out.
England's prospects were dealt a blow when James Boiling was struck by a delivery from fast bowler Troy Corbett. It is feared that Boiling has sustained a broken toe which would sideline him along with the other injured bowlers, David Millns and Dominic Cork.
