SOMERSET08-Feb-2003Somerset’s Neil Edwards came tantalizingly close to scoring a century on Australian turf for the second time during the England Under 19’s tour down under.In the first Youth Test at Adelaide the young Cornishman’s 97 helped his side to a memorable victory over their Australian counterparts whereas despite his fine effort on Saturday he ended up on the losing side in Sydney.Batting first the Australians scored 260 for 8 from their allotted 50 overs, and opening the batting Edwards had helped to put his side into a good position before he was dismissed just eight runs short of what would have been a thoroughly deserved century.Middle order wickets fell quickly, and in the end the England Under 19’s were restricted to 244 for 8 to give their hosts victory by 16 runs.This victory means that the young Australians, who have already won the Youth Test series, now have an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five match series of One Day Internationals.The final two matches of the series are due to be played on Monday and Tuesday of the coming week
