Selection chief George Bailey and fielding coach Andre Borovec, wearing unmarked shirts, joined the field after Australia captain Mitch Marsh won the toss. Bailey, 41, a former international cricketer and one of Australia’s best fielders, and Borovec, 46, a former wicketkeeper for Geelong in the Victorian Premier Cricket league, played as substitutes. Later, Cricket Australia reported that batting coach Brad Hodge and head coach Andrew McDonald also took to the field when Marsh and Josh Hazlewood spent time off.

He was not a great friend of team-mates in the dressing-room, he was not the life of the party and he sure as hell did not smile unless he absolutely had to.
