Kurtis Patterson is the first to put his hand up with bat in hand for a test spot.
Scored a ton in the opening game of the new Summer of cricket.
Patterson scored a hundred of the 166 scored by the Vics against Tassie.
He is unlucky @anchorman he has played 2 tests in his career and has a hundred to his name I believe
Yes, scored 114 against SL in Canberra in 2019.
He also scored a ton in each innings as part of CA X1 against SL.
From memory they called him spoon, Long body and small head.
He was also part of the Scorchers outfit for a couple of seasons.
fair effort from Tassie in this game - 8 for 124 i believe yet wo scoring 225, that’s a 9th wicket partnership of 101
Konstas has scored a ton in the first match for Aust A v India A…now that’s going to peeve a few naysayers off…disapoointing Weathereld couldn’t get some runs v the likes of Hadley, Abbott and Hatcher…
So now Labuschagne puts his hand up for the upcoming Ashes series with a better then a run a ball ton…Konstas, Patterson, Labs, and Kellaway in the early runs…if I was Uzzie, I’d be donning the pads quick smart…the old fella might find himself at the back of the openers queue…yep only ODI and A red ball cricket…so we shouldn’t get too excited I guess
Good to see a few putting themselves in the selectors vision.
I think I sat one day and watched Kellaway make runs. He looked good.Reading a bit about him this morning.Cast into the openers role.Only previous was under age opening.
I think that Uzzie is safe, but even if he pads up in the first test, he will be under pressure to make runs.
Would like to see McSweeny get some good early runs.He was worth a shot.
Kontas’s century, as good as it was has to be looked at in the perspective of a pitch that has yielded over 900 runs in 3 days for the loss of only 10 wickets. I think Sheffield Shield runs will be looked at a lot more closer by the selectors in making these decisions
I this that is as it should be Mike. Be consistant pre first test in SS. As long as every player gets a chance.
