Cricket: New South Wales trail by just 63-runs at the end of Day 1 of their Sheffield Shield contest against Western Australia after bowling them out for 141.
NSW make strong start against WA | 00:31New South Wales is three wickets away from ending its record long winless streak after Chris Tremain rocked Sheffield Shield holders Western Australia with a stunning spell at the SCG.
The 23-year-old, who has impressed in limited overs cricket for the Blues and Sydney Thunder, belted a delivery over mid-on to reach his century after putting on 116 with captain Moises Henriques for the fifth wicket. He narrowly missed Josh Philippe’s outside edge with the hat-trick ball, but squared him up four deliveries later to have him caught at second slip for a duck to leave WA 4-21.
With David Warner’s spot up for grabs following his flagged retirement after the Sydney Test, the left-hander had fallen behind in-form duo Cameron Bancroft and Matt Renshaw in the pecking order. “Like I’ve said before, it will all look after itself in the long run ... when you have a lean patch like I have those first two Shield games, it makes you extra hungry to want to stay there and grind them out, make up for those days.”
Forgotten Test opening contender Henry Hunt posted his first Shield century since the 2021-22 season for South Australia against Queensland at the Gabba.
