Has a first class average of 43, will be interesting to see how he handles the big time.

had a much better average for the NSW Blues last season, played grade for Gordon as well


Crane starred for club side Gordon with the ball last season, and left as Sydney's leading wicket taker in first grade – his 45 scalps in just 11 matches making him the first spin bowler in almost a decade to win the Bill O'Reilly medal as the competition's best player.

So impressive was Crane's summer he forced himself into the NSW Sheffield Shield team for their penultimate game of the season against South Australia at the SCG, and took five wickets.

In doing so he became the first international to represent the Blues since Imran Khan in 1985.

If we have to have 30mins between the toss and the start of play why not just do the toss now?

While we are bored waiting for the toss, maybe we should check out Chaps website.

I guess if they do the toss now and say for example Poms win it and decide to bat. But then it keeps raining for a while, slows outfield ,wicket get damp, conditions turn overcast, and when play starts there is only 20-25 overs left in the day, they might then wanted to bowl first
