Absent Sheffield Shield Crowds: Quality players, quality cricket, potential future stars of the game...but where is everyone?
The Sheffield Shield has good players, plenty of quality cricket and interesting narratives - so why can't the competition attract crowds?
What the team looks like by the time the England test team next tour will be interesting. Cricket Australia’s promotion of the series against Pakistan tells us ‘ya have to be there’ and this is the team of our generation. But I wonder about that statement. I would have thought the teams captained by Steve Waugh were in that category. Anyway, just as long as some succession planning for emerging players is front of mind for Cricket Australia.
