Essingdon, ha ha.

So not the w***er opening batsman. Good.

Thanks for your reply. But why 'mid-season' in particular? Seems a strange time to institute this change (but not if you look at today's rule interpretations by the umpires/AFL)! And if you're aware, what was the general reaction, if any?
