The Short Leggians XI headquarters held a socially distant zoom call where pen, paper, pads and water bottles were chucked with disagreements over the starting eleven. Also on discussion was the difficulty of managing the players whilst in the immense speculation and hype around the Trump Fringe team.
We have decided that we will give each player a bottle of dettol to show the opposition before duly chucking them to our water boy to drink them
. Adelaide will have never seen anything like it.
Short Leg XI to take on Trump’s Fringe in the third game of Group A:
1. D’Arcy Short
2. Temba Bavuma
3. Joe Root
4. Glenn Maxwell
5. Shimron Hetmyer
6. Alex Carey
7. Thisara Perera
8. Sam Curran
9. Jhye Richardson
10. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
11. Qais Ahmad
Maxi will open the bowling with J Richardson coming on at the other end. And yes you read that right Shimron Hetmyer will be captaining the boys ahead of 3 recognised captains - no wonder there were bottles being thrown in the meeting.
Pitch Conditions for the Adelaide Oval:
Grassy/Dry type

Light cracks
Day 2 pitch
Good luck to everyone in their opening games and have your Billy Bowden six at the ready!
