Tommy Lamb, 18, left Manchester on August 20, just a week after getting his A-level results, determined to reach Adelaide in time for the third Test on December 17.

He has turned out for his local side, Bowdon Cricket Club in Altrincham, and for his school team at Manchester Grammar, where he played alongside former England star Andrew Flintoff's son, Rocky.
