By opting for Joe Burns and Kurtis Patterson against Sri Lanka, the Australian selectors have come good on their promise to reward Shield runs with national selection.
It’s hard to imagine how the 2019 WBBL04 final between the Brisbane Heat and the Sydney Sixers to be played at 10.10am at Drummoyne Oval this Saturday is going to top the quality of games we saw in the semi-finals last weekend.
Australia’s current frailty has been well documented but in Sri Lanka they today face a wounded Test opponent missing their most experienced and accomplished batsman.
When an 18-year-old Kurtis Patterson hammered 157 in his debut first-class innings, it seemed like he was on the fast track to Test selection. Now, seven years later, Patterson finally looks set to earn a baggy green.
Last September, Trevor Hohns proudly announced Mitchell Marsh and Josh Hazlewood had been appointed vice-captains of the Australian Test team.
James Faulkner’s resounding return to form should earn him a spot in Australia’s ODI squad for next month’s five-match series in India.

The Australian selectors have made a late change to their Test squad to play Sri Lanka, adding New South Wales batsman Kurtis Patterson.
Kurtis Patterson is exactly what Australia needs in Test cricket.
The year is 2019 and as the ten-year challenge takes social media by storm, the Australian ODI side has opted to take it to the next level by playing a brand of cricket more akin to 2009.
No one can question Glenn Maxwell’s prodigious cricket talent since he came onto the ODI scene back in 2012.
The Australian One Day team lost the third ODI against India on Friday, which means that it has been nearly two years since Australia won an ODI series.
Aaron Finch showed absolutely no respect to Sydney Thunder’s Arjun Nair
The over-enthusiastic flipper launched the bat into the crowd of unsuspecting photographers
The Thunder’s Jay Lenton dropped an absolute sitter off the bowling of Chris Jordan
The Renegades tinkered with their batting line up and sent Cameron Boyce out to open
There are poisoned chalices and then there’s being asked to replace Shane Keith Warne.
