“We’d like to bat first.” We prefer to defend because it is our strongest suit. It feels great to play RR’s 200th game, and it feels even better to have been playing for ten years. I’d like to see some pink here today, but it’s yellow, and we all know why (smiles). Boult is out with a niggle, so Zampa takes his place.”
