Most cricketing eyes have been on the Ashes this summer – but there’s been plenty of interest in the senior version.

And the Aussies seniors – who have already been to Sussex once to play at Horsham – will be back in the county for their final one-day international against England on Sunday (July 30), which is at Littlehampton CC’s Sportsfield ground.

England have already won the series, going 3-1 up with just this final game to play. The Aussies won the first game by two wickets at Thame. England won the second match by five wickets at Burton CC and secured a resounding win in the third.
