Hey, I'd take that 3rd promotion slot in a heartbeat D/F, beggars can't be choosers!
Given that management don't appear to be capable of deciding on a captain , how about leaving it to a member's vote at the April 1st meeting- appropriate date given some of the, particularly white ball, captains we've had of late.
Ramps for batting coach anyone?

I've no idea, but I'd be prepared to wager that Coughlin was bowling at the time

It worked but- the other bowlers still had a few 'issues' and with two overseas batsmen - especially Short - it might require a rethink. Short boundaries might allow some swashbuckling innings from the top of the order but the rest of the lineup aren't renowned for big hitting and what about our bowlers?
Long boundaries might nullify Short but short boundaries might well expose various other shortcomings!

I'm all for normal boundaries-it's farcical getting 6 for edging over 3rd man or slicing over cover. Surely Aussie grounds will maintain reasonable boundaries even if shortened. I'm sure with 637 runs there's more to Short's game than power hitting. Bancroft had a canny BBL( almost 300 runs in 11ins) and Raine has a T20 ton. Clark also had a good 2018 T20(400+runs).
