Ahhh - that would explain it. Didn't sound like there was too much wrong with any of the ones he was using

While the T20i's have been going on a very interesting sub-plot is happening in the form of the Australia A vs India game.

It is a throwback to the older days of full sides playing tour games. The Australian team has a number of guys vying for places or set for debut, plus the Indian line up has players who haven't played red ball for ages so are trying to get practice in such as Pujura.

Will Pucovski hit on the head in the warm up match. With this concussion issues might put his Test debut on ice.

Wade is some player in T20s, have to wonder if he could do the Warner job in longer form cricket in Australia.

India seems to have found a potential star in this Natarajan chap.

Swepson enjoying himself 3-23. Not sure how Pant doesn�t get into this Indian side.

His keeping hasn't been great and he's not shown the level of consistency that Rahul, Saha, etc have in the IPL.

David Warner will miss first test with groin injury. Will Pucovski also unlikely with concussion.
Joe Burns looks like a walking wicket. Matthew Wade might be pushed up to open.

Wade opening in Tests... that's hilarious.. Aus are obviously that devoid of Red Ball talent

It hasn't been mentioned anywhere that he'll open. They do have a lot of openers currently to choose from but its making sure they pick the right one. Burns is cooked which has created a massive problem. Marnus has said he'd like to open if given the chance. Options are there.

Jimbo · « **Reply #85 on:** December 09, 2020, 01:45:43 PM »

Wade opening only makes sense if you're trying to replace Warner as closely as possible. It'd be entertaining at least.

Reckon it will be Burns and Harris for the first test with Warner back ASAP if he can get fit. Pucovski unlucky with the head knock but his history of concussions has to be a serious worry.

Labuschagne opening is an interesting one, feel like he does have the game for it. Maybe if Green comes into the middle order at 5 or 6, Marnus is promoted to open and Smith, Head, Wade make up the top 6. Not totally ridiculous.

Jeff Navarro · « **Reply #86 on:** December 11, 2020, 04:10:12 PM »

Looks like Cameron Green has concussion after he was hit on the head by a Bumrah straight hit. Looks like both Pucovski and Green won�t play in Adelaide.
Joe Burns misery continued with another duck.
Bumrah and Shami look devastating with the pink ball.

Jimbo · « **Reply #87 on:** December 11, 2020, 04:14:24 PM »

The one that hit Green was an absolute sickener, hope it's just precautionary. Real shame for him and Pucovski as both have looked real prospects so far this year.

See Harris didn't set the world alight either, Aussies will be praying Warner is back quickly.

Jeff Navarro · « **Reply #88 on:** December 11, 2020, 07:34:14 PM »

Also worth noting Bumrah was hit on the head when batting and tried to refuse the concussion test.
The Indians needs to take it more seriously.

Given that rugby and football both seem to be heading to where the NFL found itself in terms of litigation over head injuries, it wouldn't be a surprise to see it being mandatory for a player being struck on the head to leave the field for a proper assessment. I think that the days of it being considered brave to get up after taking blow to the head and carry on are consigned to the past
