'He Won't Die Wondering...', Says Cooper Connolly’s Parents On Son’s Test Debut In Galle
Galle International Cricket Stadium: Shane, the father of Australia’s newest Test debutant Cooper Connolly, said his son would approach this huge occasion in Galle without wondering what would happen in the ongoing second game against Sri Lanka.
At the Galle International Cricket Stadium, Connolly received Baggy Green number 471 from former batter Simon Katich and replaced off-spinner Todd Murphy in Australia’s playing eleven. Connolly, the spin-bowling allrounder, is yet to take a wicket in four first-class appearances, and was surrounded by his parents Shane and Donna for the special moment in his cricketing career.
Shane himself was a former player and coach with WA Premier Cricket club Scarborough, the place from where Cooper rose to make his debut for Australia for all formats since September last year, with the Test debut completing his meteoric rise.
