I agree with all that. I want good performances from Guy and Mellish to justify their new contracts, I want Beech to learn from what he’s seen this last fortnight (I won’t hold my breath) and I want to see some evidence that there’s been some shooting practice this week - in short I want us to take advantage of this wonderful surface that Dave Mitchell and team have gifted us. If I see a modicum of success I’ll be happy.

Oh, and no rain in the Paddock please.
