Pucosvki's remarkable streak ends as match is drawn

Will Pucovski was finally tamed as Victoria batted out a draw in their Marsh Sheffield Shield match with Western Australia at Karen Rolton Oval.

When the sides agreed to call it a day at tea on Wednesday, Victoria were 4-199 with Matt Short (32) and Sam Harper (2) remaining not out.

Pucovski (38) was out lbw to Cameron Gannon (1-32) while the young gun's opening partner Marcus Harris (45) followed when he mis-timed a ball to mid-wicket off the bowling of Aaron Hardie (2-19).

Their partnership of 84 was the pair's lowest contribution in a remarkable three-innings stretch that yielded Pucovski 495 runs and Harris 355.

They've produced 756 runs when batting together during that time.

With incumbent Australia opener Joe Burns failing to get a score of substance in five innings for Queensland this season, Pucovski may well have done enough to bump him from the Test team.

The Shield season now goes into hiatus with the first Test against India starting on December 17 at Adelaide Oval.

An extended 17-man Australia squad will be named on Thursday.

Peter Handscomb (27) and Nic Maddinson (39) were the other batsmen out for the Vics on Wednesday.

Cameron Gannon (2-39) and Hardie each had two wickets.

With a 134-run lead and one session remaining, the sides agreed a result was unlikely and called the match off.
