Ollie Pope is the concussion cover for Roy.

Bloody rain, forecast looked set yesterday. :angry:

Aggers dobbing Warne in straight away on TMS, he's hiding away in the groundsmans shed having a fag. "Don't worry Shane, nobody's listening" :clap:

I was pleased to read that Marcus Trethscothick was helping out in the nets. Hopefully teaching the batsmen how to bat for a length of time rather than 10 overs. Not so glad to read it was from his throw that Roy was hit on the head.

Slightly OT but should Roy suffer concussion when fielding after the ball hitting his head could they bring Trescothick in as the substitute batsman or does the substitute have to come from those that have been named in the initial squad?

Trescothick :lolol::lolol:

But as to your general query; no, if Roy was injured prior to the match starting and suffered a recurrence of the injury, a substitute can't be used.

If a sub is used, however, he doesn't have to be part of the original squad but must be a like for like replacement ie a batter replaced by a batter

Ignoring the stupid part of your question - the other part is actually interesting.

I think the answer is (certainly should be) no. I'm not sure what the regulations say, but absolutely a substitute really ought not be allowed, for an injury taken into (rather than suffered within) the match.

Rain moving West to east so rain should stop very very shortly. FA75277D-A49E-4781-B14A-FBADF7CEE36F.jpeg

My point was that if he or anybody else was passed fit to start and got hit on the head while fielding could they bring any similar player in as a substitute. I realise that if he doesnt make it Pope has been called up but I was thinking more if after the match has started.

Well the answer to that is Yes. If he gets hit on the head, and suffers a concussion, then he can be replaced (by Pope, who is his designated concussion substitute).

There are no 4 day county games in progress during the test (only T20s), so they'd have a wide choice of potential subs
