With SA however to designate a unused head coach taking after Jason Gillespie’s flight in Walk, Harvey’s not beyond any doubt where that opportunity might come, but says he “wouldn’t intellect” opening the batting as the state looks for to discover a customary accomplice for Henry Chase in the Sheffield Shield.
