Todd was named in the team to play Pakistan in the Prime Minister’s X1 and was presented with his cap by the Prime Minister himself.
We will look forward to seeing him in action on our TV screens again.
His success will no doubt give incentive to the local youngsters currently learning the game from the ‘Two Anthonys’ – Hadley and Hogg.
If Todd can do it – so can we!

Motorists travelling on the Picnic Point Road today are asked to be particularly aware of cyclists.
The Year 6 class of 2023 will be cycling out to Picnic Point as part of their Wellbeing Day, and after a practice run around town last week are rearing to go.
Once there they will try their hands (and feet) at standup paddle board riding on the great Murray River.
All this exercise will put them in good stead for a hearty lunch at the Timbercutter Restaurant.
Once rested - and with full tummies - they will set about cycling back to town to the school that has been a major part of their lives for the past seven years.
