Kurtis Patterson - Performance Watch

[BreadPakoda]

Need a separate thread on this young fella. Been doing well in Shield for some time. Looks like a great prospect to me.

 

[Sher Khan]

I rate him as the best upcoming batsman on the domestic circuit

 

[wrongun]

I'm not so sure. Despite any hype, he was a 25 year old with bog average, middle of the road Shield figures until he got runs against a particularly weak SL side which is in some turmoil over injuries and corruption claims at home...

Will Puczoski is seen as by far the bigger talent.

Then again, hacks like Laubershagne and the Marshes keep getting picked, so he's probably a step in the right direction.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Shaky start for him. Needs to bat with the tail now.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Maiden 100 for him. Although the pitch looks flat

 

[jnaveen1980]

Escaped luckily from golden duck. Simple dolly put down.

 

[Mobashir]

He was so good at the u19 World Cup but then he couldn’t produce the results in domestic cricket.

Playing a little better these days. Can be a good number 6 but that will be a surprise if he becomes a top batsman from here on.

Resurgent Patterson scores century for Australia A​

Kurtis Patterson has continued his stellar season with a brilliant knock for Australia A
Former Test batter Kurtis Patterson has further staked his claim for an international comeback after batting all day to make a superb century for Australia A.

Patterson, who played the last of his two Tests in 2019, starred with an unbeaten 126 as Australia A went to stumps on day one of their clash with the England Lions at Cricket Central in Sydney on 3-262.

Facing Test players Shoaib Bashir and Josh Tongue, Patterson arrived at the crease in the first over on Thursday after opener Tim Ward fell for a duck.

Patterson will resume batting on Friday in the four-day match with Josh Philippe (54no).

Opener Jayden Goodwin (70) combined with Patterson for a 177-run second-wicket stand after Ward's early dismissal.

It has been a remarkable turnaround for 31-year-old Patterson, who began the summer playing grade cricket for St George after a concerning form decline cost him the NSW captaincy.

Admitting in November he deserved to be dropped, Patterson has responded in the best possible way for NSW, and now Australia A.

He has a Test average of 144, after hitting a century against Sri Lanka in Canberra in 2019.

But Patterson was a victim of circumstances, not needed on Australia's Ashes tour that year after Steve Smith and David Warner returned from their Sandpapergate bans.

Australia A opted to go for a bowler-heavy XI on Thursday, with Queensland quick Xavier Bartlett due to come in at No.7 after Victorian allrounder Will Sutherland.
