ACA player Greg Matthews said it was fantastic to see the posters at the ground and praised all the young fans who put in the effort.
He also praised the Wimmera Mail-Times and Horsham Junior Cricket Association initiative that saw brand new cricket balls handed to young fans in the crowd.
The former Australian Test player said he particularly liked the poster efforts of winner Jarman Reid and the Rolling Stones-Brad Hogg inspired tongue creation of Ethan Mellor.
He also singled out Kaysie and Damien Cunningham for their efforts using drinking straws.
Jarman Reid, 12, of Horsham was thrilled to win the full Kookaburra cricket kit of a bat, gloves, pads, cricket bag and a ball worth $600.
"It's great to win," he said.
Reid made the posters with the help of his sister Naja, 10.
He said he loved attending the match on Sunday.
"I really enjoyed seeing all the Australian players here in Horsham, especially Greg Matthews because he was really funny," he said.
Reid plays under-14 cricket with Horsham Saints.
He said watching bowler Jason Gillespie in action was exciting.
Reid said his favourite player was Ricky Ponting, so was very excited to receive his cricket kit which included a Ricky Ponting Kahuna bat.
•A selection of the ACA 4s and 6s poster entries and the list of lucky winners appears in today's Mail-Times.
