Pomersbach banned by Warriors until 2010-11 | Australia Cricket News | Cricinfo.com

Wow, huge ban in place for Pommers. Not good for us W.A fans, was hoping for a big season from him, hes let us down a bit in the past year or two.

The reporting leads you to think he is unlikely to play. WACA have basically given him a suspended sentence; if he does the counselling and stays out of trouble, he'll surely be picked for the T20s and available for the business half of the season (if WA are playing well enough). They also fined him $10,000, but again, half of that is suspended until the end of the season. He cops some penalties, but he should still have a chance to do all the big things. Probably what it does do is rule him out of getting picked for the home Tests, but you could hardly have called that likely.

The fact is, if he gets in any more trouble, playing first class cricket this season could be the least of his problems.
