Southern Cross Trophy
The Southern Cross Trophy is a cricket trophy that is awarded to the winner of Test series between Australia and Zimbabwe.[2] The Trophy was first contested in a single-Test series in Zimbabwe in 1999, which was accompanied by a series of three One Day Internationals. In the first Test of the second and last series of the Trophy in the 2003-04 season, Matthew Hayden scored a then-record highest Test score by a batsman, a 380 that won him the player of the series award.[1] Hayden surpassed Brian Lara's record 375 with that score,[3] but the record was later retaken by Brian Lara in his 400* against England the next year, still the highest score by a batsman in international cricket.[4]

gollark: I'm actually almost done with the parser for shapeless recipes.
gollark: ... Forge? Oh, you're making an item dump thing. I'm parsing the CraftTweaker one.
gollark: I'm working on my own version. Unfortunately, it's quite hard.
gollark: Is someone else parsing the ridiculous crafttweaker format or do I need to do it?
gollark: That's horrifying.
