"THE Australian squad are intent on enjoying their stay north of the Border and the break it provides from the rigours of the Ashes series. Scotland coach Andy Moles has warned his players, however, that what the world champions enjoy above all else is playing winning cricket.
Moles, whose team meet Australia in a one-day friendly at the Citylets Grange in Edinburgh today, knows the visitors will not suddenly slip into a charitable frame of mind when play begins at 11am. Having suffered a shock defeat by Bangladesh already this summer, they will be out to ensure that such humiliation does not happen again."
BBC2 is broadcasting the match (although we wait with some trepidation to see what kind of a mess Dougie Donnelly makes of it). Even Jack McConnell is expected to turn up (although sportscotland, the Executive's agency for supporting sport, has not exactly been generous with regard to cricket).
Unfortunately, it has begun to rain in Edinburgh and the forecast is not good...
