The notable and in fairness probably only exception to that being the CC Final, which was the last time he hadn't played a game in a long time. There were other factors at play in the final; 30 odd degrees and the whole team bottling it collectively. I hope Coote is ready obviously and do think he'll start. He might be physically ready. But will the sharpness and match fitness be there? I just think it's a fair enough question and don't think its necessarily a foregone conclusion that if fit he goes straight back in to a big game like this.
Having said all that I can't actually remember the situation with the cup final I've tried to erase it from my memory. Was he rushed back and not properly fit? If so then I take most of that back!
