It's warm, humid, and gusty at the SCG. There is a small risk of showers, but the odds are on our side for a full day's play. The excellent pitch, with pace, bounce, and plenty of grass, is getting a heavy roll.

Andy Bull has had enough of Ashley Giles.

If Giles is right and more systemic change is needed, the pressing question is whether, given his track record in the job, he is the right man to lead it, given that he made such a mess of the (well-intentioned) rotation policy, and the mistake of binning the head selector to load more responsibility onto the coach.
