You're kidding??
Head averages less than 35 in 1st class cricket. Ferg averages over 40. Ferguson had to play before Head. Patterson has to play before Head too as he averages over 40 too.
That's the problem with Australian selectors though, Ferguson is about to turn 32 next week, why debut a bloke in his early 30's when we're already shit? Pick the younger option with the bigger upside, unless of course Brad Scott is on the selection panel.
Question also raising it's head now, who captains after Smith or even as a replacement should the weight be too heavy for him to carry?
There's nobody in the side who can do it, Oled Warner would have but he jobbed Root in the gob so he's not going to get the gig, after that who does it? Time to cut our losses, bring in some mid-20's with leadership potential and back them in for at least 12 months.
Voges and dare I say it Ferguson to make way for some youth.
PAFC. Forever.
LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!
