Mum, 82, hasn't missed the first day of an Adelaide Test for the best part of 40 years, me for nearly 30 most of them with her and I normally get her tickets arranged for her and off we go. Now, it seems this year well, I did, I cocked up and missed the emails from the Aus Cricket Family about the tickets as my new Outlook has "Focused" and "Other" folders and I missed it. As such we ended up with Day 4 tickets as I didn't log on until 2 days after they went on sale. Had a bit going on.

Anyway, if there's two Day 1 tickets in the Universe looking for an owner I'd hand them to Mum and Step Dad, if there's three I'd chaperone them.

You never never know...!

Regards,

2nd favorite son.

McDonald presser all but confirmed Khawaja will play and bat at 5 imo at the expense of Inglis

McDonald continued to remind journalists when asked about Khawaja that his not just an opening batsmen and has batted in many other different positions throughout his career at both test and shield level.

With a forecast like that you can expect the pitch to have plenty of juice in it on day 1 as they get it ready to last 5* days.
