On the back of hitting his maiden List-A century in the Marsh Cup match against WA, Daniel Drew is in good form ahead of the match against Tasmania.
With school holidays beginning on Tuesday, heading down to Shield match at Karen Rolton Oval is the perfect activity to get the kids out of the house.
