Perhaps, though he was doing a lot better with the mental health issues of late I thought. Don't know now with this setback.
If he wanted a long career from here maybe it's time to just focus on the shorter forms of the game but I don't think even that will help.
You’re a guru.
As tragic as it will be, can't see Pucovski having much a career. He gets concussed extremely easily now, and all it will take is one short ball hitting his helmet for him to be out of the game and out of the series.
Extremely concerning for his long term health too

Head was dropped in his mid 20s and has clearly been the best batsman outside of the Test 11 since then.
He's still very young and has been in good form last summer and this. He's clearly the first cab off the rank.

England are saying “please pick him”. Bloke will get 20 then flash at a wide one get out on repeat

They're of course shitting themselves at the prospect of having to bowl at Bryce Street or Usman Khawaja or Marcus Harris or Ben McDermott though.

Least 2 of those might make it Harris is woeful though

And when they fail we just pick someone else new to see what they've got until we're left with Conor McInerney and Charlie Wakim opening for Australia.

More than happy for Street to get a block of games. Can’t be worse than Harris, Bancroft and whatever mug we’ve tried there

Head will absolutely start at #5 in the Ashes. As he well should. Is in form, has a strong record and is coming into his prime. As long as the coaches are drilling him on his ill discipline outside off stump (which I'm sure they are), he'll be fine.

Bring Maxi back or at least let him play a few shield games in a row but sadly I think his days of playing test cricket are over
because of this stupid T20 cricket.

He is still reliable to hang around with a specialist batsman but has just lost the ability to score

how? his T20 (and ODI?) commitments constantly clash with the Shield schedule
I suspect his missed shield games are far less to do with T20 cricket (bar perhaps T20Is) and more ODI cricket.he would have had to straight up say he's taking an extended break from international cricket.

Hard to believe but Maxwell,s last shield game was Oct 18,2019.Reports say he still has ambitions of playing test cricket again but I think highly unlikely with all the T20 and 1 day cricket commitments he has.

Also won’t happen despite how much you push it. Don’t rate Head at all but he’s way ahead of Maxwell

Not sure how you come to that conclusion,pretty hard to compare Maxwell and Head seeing Maxwell has mainly played only T20 and 1 day cricket over the last 2 years or surely you are not saying Head is a better T20 player then Maxwell.

One has shown he can play long innings and it ain’t Maxwell. It’s not as if I rate Head either

Pretty sure Maxwell has a shield score of 280 odd.Head would have played a lot more shield games then Maxwell.
