Do you think the decision to bat Hughes at three is a tactical decision or is it based on where he bats for Australia? To me Hughes is a far better opener than No. 3.

Where to bat Rapahel and Klinger though?

I think it's just to get him some more experience there, especially since Rapahel and Klinger are openers anyway. I reckon Klinger would've batted three if SA were picking their team purely tactically.

Over 1.1: Sheridan to Raphael, no run, full and wide, Raphael in his first Shield innings watches it go past, Sheridan falls over in his follow-through


this must be the guy who told us north got bowled by a full straight one...when it was a long hop outside off that he pulled onto his stumps

The High Performance unit would've told them to rest Hughes if they tried to open with him :D

Does anyone know if admission to the shield will still be free after the redevelopment of Adelaide Oval?
I'd expect so since only a handful of people turn up anyway.

Reckon that's why they'll move Shield games to Glenelg.
