Match in Barossa rained off - HOWEVER...


Three inches of rain in the last two days put paid to our second match.  HOWEVER - we will now play Prince Alfred College (alma mater of the Chappell brothers) on Tuesday.  HOWEVER - we practised this morning at the Adelaide Oval indoor centre, thanks to the kind work of Neil Dansie (7,500 first class runs for South Australia and the man at the wicket with Bradman when the Don was dismissed for the last time in first class cricket).  HOWEVER - the boys visited koalas and kangaroos and played golf. HOWEVER - lunch for the coaching team in the Barossa Valley with wine-makers Grant and Helen Burge was not called off due to rain.  Tomorrow we play Westminster College, and try to gain revenge for the defeat suffered on our last visit.
