Instead of ducking into it

I mean beyond the safety thing surely that's enough to not pick him on technical grounds alone. That sort of bowling will be much more prevalent and likely at Test level where bowlers are quicker and more accurate with the short ball so even if he didn't get concussed, he'd still have his cards marked

 

[TheJediBrah]

The fact that we are still talking about whether or not he should be playing professional cricket is absurd. Should have been settled years ago

Must come a time when lawyers get involved

@Burgey & @sledger will know more about it than me but I would have thought duty of care, H & S is likely being discussed

No way I would be insuring him anymore and the Vics/CA will want to protect themselves

Imagine running in as a fast bowler and thinking you might kill the guy if you deliver the only kind of ball he isn't Bradman against.

The fact that he's otherwise totally gun does make it worse in that regard.

Conor McInerney is back

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

The thing with Pucovski is that they will never pick him for international cricket now no matter what happens in the rest of his career. He could rattle off 10 seasons in a row of 2000 runs and they wouldn't pick him because all it would take is Rabada etc dropping one short and they have the biggest lawsuit in cricket history on their hands.

JFM rightfully moved back to the middle order

Getting him to open was dumb dumb dumb

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Damn that sucks, was a decent partnership until then

Jarrod "Jonty Rhodes" Freeman

 

[Starfighter]

Once again, every single pitch is green.

 

[TheJediBrah]

The more I see of McSweeney the more I like. Would like to see him get a Test debut next summer. He actually looks like a proper batsman, not one that relies on a fair bit of luck to slap a decent score which describes half our Test line-up atm

 

[TheJediBrah]

How many tassie bowlers are injured for them to be trotting out the likes of Carlisle and this Elliott bloke?

Must be down to the 8th or 9th choice seamers

I hadn't switched on the streams until now. "Green" doesn't do justice to that Hobart deck.

On the one hand, being able to score runs in tough conditions can be a good indicator of a batter’s potential to succeed at a higher level

On the other, it’s hardly a reliable guide as to whether a bowler has potential

 

[Spark]

Oh hey I didn't realise Vidler had been picked. Nice to see, even if he's apparently the tenth best bowler in Queensland.

Keen to see how he goes and how his pace holds up. Some of his u19 stuff would have knocked over anyone.

 

[Spark]

He's got a wicket first over!

 

[Spark]

He looks plenty quick enough at this level too. Really getting it through

 

[Burgey]

What is going on with the pitches ffs? It's ridiculous.

Everyone wants result wickets for the points
