It was not only vintage efforts from Tasmania's senior campaigners that lent the start of their Marsh Sheffield Shield against South Australia a distinct hint of veterans' day. As the Bay to Birdwood classic car rally rolled through Adelaide's streets prior to play starting, and with almost 150 former Redbacks representatives watching on from the historic scoreboard hill throughout the afternoon, ageless seamers Jackson Bird and Peter Siddle (both 4-51) stole the show. SA were bowled out for 227 an hour before stumps, with Tasmania 1-17 at the close after new SA recruit Ben Manenti plucked a stunning one-handed catch at second slip late in the day to remove opener Caleb Jewell (8).
