Glenn McGrath has missed New South Wales’ team of all-time, which was picked by the librarian Colin Clowes to celebrate 150 years of first-class cricket in the state. Alex Brown takes a look at the side in the Sydney Morning Herald.
A top order of Arthur Morris, Bob Simpson and Don Bradman. A middle-order of Victor Trumper, Charlie Macartney, Steve Waugh and Billy Murdoch. A pace attack of Charles Turner, Ray Lindwall and Alan Davidson. And, in a move that may surprise the current panel of national selectors, a pair of leggies in Richie Benaud and Bill O'Reilly.
McGrath was joined in exile by Mark Taylor, Monty Noble, Warren Bardsley, Mark Waugh and Doug Walters.
Andrew Symonds says in The Australian the national one-day side is desperate to improve. "We're still looking for a perfect day in the field, and for bowlers to execute certain deliveries. We're always looking to do things better."
Cricket Australia is holding on to one of its World Cup sponsors despite being told to drop the company five months ago.
