turns out he is batting for Victoria 2nd XI at the minute, which sadly I found out because he was once again hit on the head and had to retire hurt. Thankfully, no 12th concussion, but judging on the video, its another short ball he just wears on the head. We all know what happened to the last batsman Australia produced that looked like Bradman hitting full balls to the boundary fence, but with a very acute weakness to short pitched bowling.... with Aussie pitches and bowlers, its surprising that guys can get big averages in the FC game being so weak to short pitched stuff, but there comes a time where you hope Pucovski decides to call it a day for his own health reasons. There is a horrible cycle to all of this, and one that you get the feeling can end badly..... get hit on the head, get concussion, has mental health issues and dissolves away from the game, comes back.... recycle.
I dont know if its a mental thing, video evidence suggests he just freezes occasionally to short pitch bowling and doesn't move out the way.... hence why he keeps wearing them.
