The Southern Cross Trophy is a cricket trophy that was 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]
