The concussion substitute rule is a good one, yaar—if a player gets a head knock, a like-for-like replacement can be approved by us match referees. The "like-for-like test" means the sub should be similar in skill, whether they're a bowler or a top-order batter. But sitting in that quiet stadium office, checking their first-class records, I know it's never perfect—you can't replace heart with a spreadsheet. Back in our colony matches, if our best bowler got hurt, we'd just play with ten men and fight harder. That's the real test.
