The Redbacks were set an unlikely 285 for victory after Tasmania declared their second-innings at 7 (dec) -390 midway through the final day. SA were humming along at 2-130 in the 24th over, but Phil Hughes' departure for 67 sparked a collapse. The home side lost 3-10 in the final session to give the Tigers a sniff of victory until Tom Cooper and wicketkeeper Tim Ludeman calmed SA nerves. Cooper finished unbeaten on 74 while Ludeman was 18 not out as the pair survived some aggressive bowling to edge the Redbacks to 5-208 and secure a draw. James Faulkner, Australia's 12th man for the first Ashes Test who will be hoping for a start in the second clash in Adelaide, did his chances no harm with solid figures of 2-33 on a flat wicket. James Faulkner reacts after being dispatched by Phillip Hughes. He captured the wickets of Callum Ferguson (zero) and Johan Botha (one) to have the Tigers buzzing before the Redbacks consolidated. The hosts' run chase got off to a dreadful start when Michael Klinger was bowled for a duck by Luke Butterworth (1-17). Hughes and Travis Head boosted the run rate close to six an over, the latter striking five boundaries and two sixes but falling short of a second half-century for the match on 43 when he dragged a Xavier Doherty (2-45) delivery onto his stumps. Hughes and Cooper combined for a 63-run stand that steered the run chase back on track. The partnership came to an end when Hughes was caught by Ben Dunk who ran around the boundary rope to take an incredible one-handed diving catch. Earlier, centuries to Jordan Silk (104) and Ed Cowan (123), and rapid-fire fifties to Faulkner (53) and Dunk (72) in the middle order, were the driving force for the Tigers to set the challenging target.
