Cartwright is the Heartbeat of Our Team - Marcus Stoinis
Marcus Stoinis described the moment he saw teammate Hilton Cartwright injured during the Stars' loss to the Perth Scorchers as "awful." Stoinis expressed concern over Cartwright's injury on the team, as he is highly respected within the squad and Western Australia.
“He’s a heartbeat of our team – but not only us, with Western Australia and the Scorchers, he’s a very well-respected guy. Hopefully he’s alright. It did definitely put a dampener on the mood of the night – it’s just hard to switch that off. We ran there pretty quick to see him but there’s nothing you can really do,” Stoinis explained.
