Lilac Hill is a cricket ground in Western Australia in the Perth suburb of Caversham, where the Swan River flows around its southern and eastern sides. The ends of the ground are known as the river end and the pavilion end.
In 1990 the West Australian Cricket Association (WACA) hosted a festival match at the ground, with a Cricket Australia's Chairman's XI playing the touring English XI. Since then, the WACA has continued to host an annual match at Lilac Hill against the visiting international cricket team and a Chairman's XI. The inaugural 1990 match set an attendance record of 12,000 and subsequent years have attracted good crowds also.
Continuation of the match in Perth has been under pressure in recent years due to the full schedule of touring teams. In 2006, the format of the match was changed slightly to an "Invitational XI" v the Chairman's XI. In 2010 it was announced that the season opening match would no longer be held, due to increased constraints of international cricket scheduling.[1]
ACB Chairman's XI won the toss and elected to field.
Only 1 run was debited for each no-ball delivered (in contrast to the other non-international matches in Australia in 1995/96, which had 2 runs debited for each no-ball bowled)
South Africans won by 31 runs Lilac Hill, Perth Umpires: Barry Rennie and Keith Rinaldi Player of the match: Daryll Cullinan (South Africans)
South Africans won the toss and elected to bat.
Ryan Campbell withdrew from the selected team with an injury. Mark Atkinson was brought into the team as his replacement. He would bowl but not bat. Brendon Julian broke down after 3 deliveries with a groin injury. Hansie Cronje substituted in the field for Julian while Simon Katich was located. When found Katich took his place in the team and he was allowed to bat - in the social spirit of the game.
The Scorchers first played at Lilac Hill in the second season of the WBBL versus Adelaide Strikers on Friday 13 January 2017. A match the Scorchers won. Over time it has become their secondary ground for home games after the WACA Ground.
For these matches at Lilac Hill, entry has been free with free rides and activities for kids. Fans are encouraged to bring their dogs down to the ground. This is with the goal to set a new record in dog attendance at a match. The Lilac Hill Festival Weekend received the highest fan experience score across the League in 2020.[3]
