At a time when the days seem so short and are bitterly cold, that though is welcoming. We are still no wiser as to whether supporters will be welcome, but I would bet a shiny shekel that most supporters would take settling down in front of their smart TV or computer right now, if they couldn't.
No doubt the work is going on behind the scenes, while Ben McDermott appears in fine form over in Oz. He seems to be endangering those outside grounds as much as those within and appears to be a terrific hitter of a ball. That shouldn't mask the fact that he is a fine batsman, however, as he is far from a slogger.
There will be a quandary, however for who takes the T20 team this year. Hard as it is to say it, I am not sure that Billy Godleman would get into a first choice T20 side as things stand. My top seven would be Reece, McDermott, Madsen, du Plooy, Wood, Hughes and Critchley, for what it is worth. There is serious firepower in that line up and I would certainly utilise Tom Wood, behind a top four that would make the thirsty salivate..
I mean no disrespect to Billy, who will doubtless score heavily in other formats, but a break would do him no harm and the captaincy could go to Luis or Alex.
If we can pick up Sean Abbott to open the bowling, he offers additional batting power and the team starts to shape up well.
It is something to think about in the coming weeks, for sure.
Stay well, and keep in touch!
