Reckon I’ll still pick him. Is very capable as a batter and will probably bat higher up in the order in light of this news.
Indications are that Patterson won't be right for the start of Big Bash so that can only help his chances.
If Inglis keeps + Bancroft , Livingstone , Turner will leave 2 spots to be filled (Green , Hobson , Whiteman) until Marsh & Patterson return and depending who they sign for Behrendorff & Tye.
Judging by best XI's I have read on a couple of other sites , doesn't appear to be to many cheap players appearing as options for our bowling benches , might need to start looking at Agar/Boland/Paris/Steketee price range just in case.
