The Postman has to be skippering, surely. SoK doesn't want it, and nobody else could conceivably do it (except Henriques maybe, and that went brilliantly last time).1. Robson

stop pushing us around budHave they still not released the Shield fixtures? Doesn't it start in a month?
Edit: Well, no, it doesn't, but they haven't released the Royobi fixtures either, and that does.
I don't think they actually expect anyone to attend the games so a month out seems a long time.Have they still not released the Shield fixtures? Doesn't it start in a month?

The Gabba turf is set to be replaced this week, ahead of the first Ashes Test on 21 November.
The new field will take up to two weeks to install and then have around eight weeks to bed down.
Recreation and Sport Minister Steve Dickson said it was the first time the turf had been replaced since
2000.
Respected Gabba Curator, Kevin Mitchell Jnr, said the age of the field was making it more difficult to
manage.
“While the field is always safe, fit for purpose and meets the requirements of all major hirers, the
transition period from winter to summer is becoming more difficult to manage, resulting in a sometimes
patchy appearance.”
The current field will be removed and replaced with 20,000sqm of washed ‘Legend’ couch.
As is common at most major venues a three metre strip of artificial turf will be installed around the entire
boundary.
Haha I bet the players will love the Bulls v Heat game.Latest News - Queensland Cricket

I don't see how ripping up the turf changes that.The Gabba's grass has been ripped up to be replaced in time for the first Ashes test. It's about time; it's looked shocking the past few summers with the disease that went through it.
