"[I'm] pretty gutted, but nice to hear he's okay and out of hospital," Whiteman told reporters on Wednesday. "I think it's pretty lucky that it wasn't much worse. He's got plenty of scratches. Hopefully we'll see him around the WACA this week, and I know that he's gutted to miss it, but he'll get around the team."

"He's done a lot of heavy lifting this year to get us into the final."

Cameron Bancroft was the highest run getter of the tournament, he piled 778 runs at a jaw dropping average ot 48.62. One of the key members behind Western Australia's success this season. While young gun Teague Wyllie is in line to replace Bancroft at the top of the order for Western Australia in the final.
