The players are on the field, but will observe a minute’s silence. This is as a mark of respect for the late Bob Simpson, former Aussie skipper, who passed away this morning, aged 89. He was also a full-time coach of Australia, helping them re-emerge in the late 80s and the 90s. Simpson averaged 46.81 in Tests, which included 10 centuries and 27 fifties. His best score was of 311, against England in Manchester. He was also a handy leg spinner, picking up 71 wickets.
