Andrew Symonds has started throwing cricket balls and remains on track for Australia’s group match against South Africa, according to Jon Pierik in the Herald Sun.
"If the second game was South Africa we might have looked at rushing him a bit more," Ricky Ponting said. "If you listen to him, he thinks he is ready to play now. We just have to look after him.”
Tasmania are gearing up for their first Pura Cup final at home and in Hobart’s Mercury, Cameron Hodgkins, the Bellerive Oval curator, describes the pitch he is preparing.
South Australia finished the season with only one win – from their last game – and Richard Earle writes in The Advertiser that Wayne Phillips, the coach, might be in trouble.
