I expect Khawaja to come back in, you usually don't get rolled out to the media if you're not involved in the match.

Even though it's outside of Baz's long range four day forecast, so take it with a pinch of salt, but rain forecast for day five.

I can see this test going to five days with the 34, 38, 34 forecast for days 1-3
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

He was/is always coming back in; he literally picked himself.

Then McDonald came out and said he can bat anywhere in the order which was signing the deal.

I would've thought it would take more than this to get selected, but what do I know.

In that case, I'll bat at 7 thanks Macca.

I've made no runs (but I'm ok in the slips), I'm over 35 (just) and (a bonus) I live in Adelaide, so CA don't need to stump up accommodation for me.
