Chloe Saltau, writing in the Age, weighs up the risks of Stuart MacGill’s decision to have an operation on his injured hand.
MacGill will know better than anyone that consenting to surgery is a gamble that could cost him his career, but in doing so he has still given himself the best possible chance to guide Australia through the tricky early stages of the post-Warne era.
Jon Pierik says in the Herald Sun Australia is suddenly in crisis.
Where once the world champion had Shane Warne, with Stuart MacGill menacingly hovering in the background, there now is neither. Warne is gone forever, MacGill may now be following, and the dearth of young spinners at first-class level is a bigger worry than WorkChoices was for John Howard.
