Good job #BBL09 officials, Sam Harper has plenty of cricket in front of him, better to play it safe when it comes to concussion issues.

Monday night's Big Bash match against the Perth Scorchers is one Brendan Doggett will want to banish from his memory.
The Sydney Thunder bowler suffered an absolute nightmare in his side's eight-wicket loss against the Scorchers.
Doggett was left red-faced after dropping Perth opener Liam Livingstone three times during the clash in what would prove to be a match-defining series of mishaps.
The first dropped catch was a tough chance in the outfield when Livingstone was on 32.
The second dropped chance was off his own bowling, with Doggett falling on his backside as he grassed a Livingstone shot that flew high into the air.
The night of embarrassment was complete when Doggett dropped Livingstone for a third time in the dying overs, with the straight-forward catch simply slipping through his hands.
