Gary Naylor has an interesting one for us to ponder between times. “What would a shadow Aus XI look like just now (Smith, Warner, Maxi and the red headed leg-spinner etc) and would they beat Paine’s team?”
The ginger spinner you speak of is Lloyd Pope. Yep, I’ll have him. I’ll also take Nic Maddinson, who made a ton at the first time of asking for Victoria yesterday having been mysteriously cut by NSW at the end of last year.
Update from CA. The covers are to stay until they know if the rain heading in this direction is going to miss Adelaide Oval or not. The sun is burning through the clouds though (does it actually do that or do we just say it?), so we aren’t looking at a major disruption. Promise.
