In the Sydney Morning Herald, Peter Roebuck discusses Stuart MacGill's disappointing bowling effort for New South Wales against Queensland. Roebuck says MacGill was "as flat as yesterday's lemonade".
Stuart MacGill did not look much like taking a wicket until it was too late to matter, whereupon a lower-order man tried something more often seen on Moore Park. Admittedly the pitch was slow and the batsmen were set but a bowler of his class ought to trouble modest opponents battling to save a match on any surface. Instead, his work lacked sparkle and his opponents were able to counter him comfortably off front and back foot.
In the Daily Telegraph, Steve Waugh chooses his preferred Test XI for this summer and suggests Australia made a mistake by axing Simon Katich from the national contract list.
