That's a BIG if!!!

how is the new grandstand progressing at adelaide oval??

Quite well.

The cover is on two of the five canopies with the other three canopies ready to be covered. The interior is well underway and the facade has about half of the brickwork complete.

Australia's first-choice wicketkeeper, Brad Haddin, will make his long-awaited comeback when he captains the New South Wales Second XI on Monday. Haddin has been sidelined by a tendon injury in his elbow and he has not played since the final of the ICC World Twenty20 in the West Indies in May.

"I'm really pleased with the way the knee has pulled up," Ferguson told ESPNcricinfo. "I'm loving every bit of it, back playing with the boys and being in the dressing room again. I was going in to my first real competition back and you're always a little bit nervous. But I've been thrilled with the way the knee has held up. It has been put through its paces pretty strongly over the last three weeks."
