QLD V NSW

October 1, 2018 in Drummoyne

Queensland won the toss and elected to bat.  A steady 48 from Sam Heazlett helped the visitors to a good start; but it was a blistering 135 from Chris Lynn that had the fans excited.  Joe Burns chipped in with 30, but the tail collapsed, and Queensland were all out for 296 in the 48^th over.  Chris Green was the pick of the bowlers, taking 5/53; while Daniel Sams took 3/50.

New South Wales were in awful trouble after losing Daniel Hughes and Kurtis Patterson to be 2/17 in the third over.  Opener Jack Edwards and the experienced Moises Henriques batted steadily to keep their team in the game.  The pair notched their 200 run partnership in the 36^th over.  In the 37^th, Jack Edwards made his century from 104 balls.  On the very next deliver, Moises Henriques scored his own 100 from 105 balls.

Jack Edwards eventually fell for 116 from 112 deliveries in the 40^th over.  Nick Larkin made a quick 18, but it was left to Moises Henriques and Peter Nevill to rein in the total in the 46^th over.  New South Wales won by six wickets to move away from the bottom of the table.  Moises Henriques finished the match with an unbeaten 134 from 134 deliveries in an inspiring performance.
