Would be nice to not have our fast bowlers decimated by injuries for a change.
Yes absolutely. But the opportunity afforded to the next guy in the line as a result (who comes in and grabs his chance) has been a strength too. Hopefully will still get that through the likes of NCN, Behrendorff & Paris' form being rewarded with national selection/
Whiteman stil having trouble with his fingers and might opt for more surgery. Would effectively rule him out for the summer.
The silver lining is for Inglis, who showed late last year he's good enough for the state level.

That's not good news. Hope he can get it sorted
Ah geez that is terrible timing for him with the test keeper spot still up for grabs.
Is Klinger best XI for Shield?
1. Bancroft
2. Stoinis
3. Cartwright
4. S.Marsh
5. Turner
6. M.Marsh
7. Whiteman/Inglis

SOS captain?
Possibly. I wouldn't be surprised if Turner took the reigns. He's cemented a spot now and captains at grade level.
The West article read like they were considering giving the captaincy to Mitch.

Was an Australian under-19 captain when they won the world cup.
But I think he needs to just concentrate on playing good consistent cricket for now rather than worrying about captaincy also.

Mitch seems too immature and erratic as a player to be captain. Shaun Marsh is the most likely experienced hand, otherwise Turner seems to be being groomed for responsibility.
Mitch Marsh has done the job with the Scorchers before and done it well. However he's in the really awkward position of being a senior player who probably isn't secure in the shield side.
Turner seems far more established in the shield side than Mitch.
So if they do want to go the Mitch route it would be better to give Shaun the captaincy for a year or 2.

I'm also not really a fan of giving the state captaincy to players you know won't be able to play half the games and Mitch is still in the ODI and T20 frame. Shaun looks like his international career is winding down, so seems the more stable choice for me.

Mitch being given the captaincy reminds me of Damien Martyn getting the gig when he was dropped from the test team early in his career.
As you said is too immature and erratic at this stage, needs to work on his consistency and doesn't need the extra pressure of captaincy.

It took Marto a good few years before he got his mojo back, wasted time.

He'll thrive with it, I'm all for it.
To be honest I don't think that would happen now days. IF he can post a few big scores they will have him back in quick as. Mar to had to try to smash back into a super team..whilst also having blokes in the shield posting 1000 runs a season

I think the opposite; it'll ruin him.
