SYDNEY: Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting on Thursday lauded debutant Will Pucovski's 62-run knock against India in the third Test and said the opening batsman shows 'promising sign and rapt' for the longest format.
Taking to Twitter Ponting wrote, "Very impressed with Will Pucovski's innings today. To look the part at Test level on debut is a promising sign and rapt for him to breakthrough after the setbacks he's had along the way. #AUSvIND."
Pucovski rode his luck and Marnus Labuschagne showed resolve as the duo hit half-centuries to put Australia in a dominating position in a rain-curtailed opening day at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). Agencies
