It's been a winter of uncertainty but, mercifully, the Sheffield Shield returns this week for it's 119th season, meaning we're back for our second!

On our season preview we run the rule over every player listed by each state, look at the ins and outs, and review a couple of the off-season's big coaching changes.

We also pay tribute to Dean Jones, say sayonara to the Duke's ball, and delve into the history of Adelaide's Elphick Park.
