Doolan concussed after nasty bouncer blow

Test hopeful Alex Doolan was forced to retire hurt on 202 in Tasmania's Sheffield Shield clash with Western Australia at the WACA.

Doolan was struck in the jaw by a Jason Behrendorff bouncer just before stumps on Friday.

Doolan was the second player to be diagnosed with concussion in the match after WA skipper Adam Voges was felled by a bouncer on Thursday.

Voges sent a huge scare through cricketing circles around Australia when he lost sight of the ball and was struck by a Cameron Stevenson bouncer.

The 37-year-old dropped to his hands and knees, before being helped off by trainers.

Voges is unlikely to bat again during the match, but coach Justin Langer said his star player still deserved to be selected for the third Test against South Africa if he can prove his fitness.

Doolan played the last of his four Tests in 2014, and his double century has put him in the frame for the day-night Test in Adelaide, starting on November 24.

Importantly, he peeled off his highest Shield score in front of new chairman of selectors Trevor Hohns.
