South Australia and Victoria to play for Hookes Trophy

Future first-class matches between South Australia and Victoria will be contested for the David Hookes Memorial Trophy, in a mark of recognition for Hookes. Hookes, who was 48, made his name as a dashing batsman for South Australia, and was making a success of his stint as Victoria's coach when he died after an incident in a Melbourne street last week.

The trophy, which was ratified by the two state governments and the respective cricket associations, will feature a bat and gloves left at the crease - Hookes used to do this if he was not out at the lunch or tea intervals when he was batting.
