Madness, method
Matches are being won and lost; old names and new have begun jostling for attention in the domestic season; Australia continues its bid to create an Injured XI that can challenge its Remaining XI for world champion status; Ireland wants to add to the numbers at the top of the ICC table — in other words, a quiet day at the cricket.

Just one innings and all that, but thought it was worth pointing out.
