Considering the neck injury Tim had an operation for i wonder if now he will even make the test. He might have played his last game.
Even if not, with out being captain, i think one of his main reasons for being in the team has been removed.
Which then brings the big question, who will replace him?
Carey, been the understudy for a long time, but not in great shield form and for me cant justify a place in the team on present form. 30 years.
Maybe British born Josh Inglis though again not been in great form or should i say not played a lot of shield this season. Last shield season though was good and arguably has moved ahead of Carey. The youngest here at 26 years so potentially a long test career if he is capable.
Jimmy Peirson. Arguably the best keeper and 2 100;s this season so the form batsman. left field pick but playing for Queensland and the first test at the Gabba. You never know. 29 years. If form and keeping skills were the selection criteria he would be my pick.
