"It's good to have him back."

The top of the table clash sees the reigning premiers retain top spot at this stage of the competition.
"I guess it's good, but in one day cricket anyone can beat anyone on any given day," Glass said.
"It's good to get these early wins on the board before Christmas to set up the season.
"It's always tough against Mt Beauty, so it's good to get the win."
Mt Beauty's Daniel Saville made 45 and took two wickets.
Glass admits Mt Beauty still stand as a threat this season.
"They bowl well and field well and they bat right down, they're a good side," Glass said.
