The young Macedonian, Will Pucovski

[Ciderhound]

Just put him in the test side now. Couldn't be any worse than swampy's kids. Looks smater than too even after all that concussion.

 

[hugecannon]

Pucowski?

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Stoinis.

 

[Ciderhound]

Pucowski?

Correct.

 

[big_e]

The guy with 520 first class runs in his entire career? Who just made half of those against a third-string WA "attack"?

Look I'm sure he has potential, but give the kid a full year in shield cricket before we even start talking about getting him in.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Surely he's Polish.

Macedonia is gonna change their name anyway

 

[Soups]

Him and Phillippe. Just do it.

Less than 900 career runs between them....

The talent is there though. We are going to be s**t regardless of who we bring in. If there’s a time to risk some young players in the team, it’s now.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Wait to see if he goes the Travis Dean route first.

Kurtis Patterson deserves a look in first imo.

I subscribe to this theory.
With the current state of Australian cricket we might as well play some people who have the potential to be great rather than those who have already proven themselves to be mediocre.

A lot of difference between an elite junior in Pucovski and a bloke who debuted at 23 after coming through grade cricket.

Dont think they have a say in it tbh.

Much smater. Many concussion.

 

[Bigelow]

Apparently he is exhausted after making all those runs

 

[CakeEater]

Dean Jones must be his inspiration, all he needs is Border down the other end telling him how soft he is.

But in all honesty, I have no idea how thats a good decision to rest him, If he wants to play tests hes going to be able to need to back up after short rest periods

Sports scientists now days.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Is it concussion-related again?

 

[Aussie_boy]

That is ridiculous.

 

[Cleavy]

Is it concussion-related again?

Illness, it seems.

Shame hope the kid gets back on the field soon.

Putting your hand up and asking for help is a great step - all the best to the kid.

 

[bird_man]

Sad news about the young fella. Hopefully he can get the support he needs and bounce back. He's a super kid to listen to, seems to really have his head screwed on, best of luck to him.

 

[Gough]

This is really sad news, hopefully love and support will see him pull through. I'd recommend Gideon Haigh's piece on Moises Henriques in today's Oz mag too.
