Hunt, Street and Ward, with the obvious talent off Wylie (few seasons away though). We have a number of openers, not as sold on Pucovski as I was 2 years ago, I don't love having a player that is suspect to being knocked out with the drop of a fingernail. He needs to play for 2 years and no concussions first.

Personally not considering him for 12 months. Develop in Shield perhaps a county season.
Pukovski taking another mental health break.

Such awful news about Pucovski. We're going to lose him
It should hopefully cause some people to think "well shit, if a cricketer with all the resources available to him can't get the right mental health support, what hope do the rest of us have in a broken mental health system?"

Just as well it's not up to you.
I don't know Will, but I have a hell of a lot of experience with mental illness.
I think they probably have to raise the bar before selecting him again. But you don't tell him this, because I suspect the only reason he's still playing cricket is that he needs the light at the end of the tunnel. He needs hope for his recovery.
If that weren't important to him, I think he would've given it away by now, it's just too much that's too hard.

Yep and can’t be relied on to not pull out with these things. Can move on and we have Renshaw, Hunt, Street plus Wyllie is coming on.
I obviously feel for Will and hope he can get himself well again, but damn if I’m being honest as someone who has dealt with mental health issues of my own, I’d love to have what is probably indefinite paid leave to get well, but the vast majority can’t.Such awful news about Pucovski.

So what was the point of 3 rounds of Shield games? Head/Lab kept failing but no matter we'll just assume that your test form from last summer will remain the same.
