Shield Game 1: Western Australia vs New South Wales, WACA, Monday 3rd-Thursday 6th October, 1:30 AEDT

Right on cue for me, he was.

There's a lot to like about him. Looks very well suited to the longer format as well, rather than just a shotmaker. Real nice technique to fall back onto.

Watch this space for sure.

Seems a long format player for sure. I highly doubt he’ll be in the the One Day side for a while.

My guess is WA’s plan will be to give him some experience in the middle order of the Shield team, with the eventual hope to have him move into the openers role.

Was reading somewhere he's modelled his game on Rahul Dravid

I think Wyllie just broke the record for youngest ever century in the Shield

Patterson's record was 18 and 206 days
Wyllie is 18 and 163 days

Edit: Ponting was 18 and 40 days for his first century

Punter with a lazy ton in each innings Tasmania v Western Australia at Hobart, 11-14 Mar 1993 still younger than Wyllie is now

Terrible finish to the session for NSW, and a terrible shot from Henriques on the cusp of lunch.

Does anyone know what happened to Sangha?

I'm assuming concussion

[Beutbrute]

In that article:
Sangha suffered a concussion during warm-ups on Day 3 of the match and exhibited concussion symptoms.

 

[grimlock]

Yes but what happened exactly? Guess hit in the head with a ball?

I think Greg Chappell was marginally younger.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

NSW's batting has been remarkably consistent:
Edwards - 16 & 16
Dwarshuis - 5 & 5
Tremain - 7 & 7
Hughes - 15 & 17
Nikitaras - 20 & 25
Henriques - 5 & 7

This gets done tonight, doesn't it? Surely a session is long enough to chase 70-odd?

NSW bowlers did well in the first innings and really managed to apply the brakes on the scoring.
It's no given

Yeah, but given you can have an extra half an hour if you're close.

 

[Beutbrute]

Paris was a bit expensive in that second spell.
Really been impressed with Morris this game, he’s bowling in good areas more consistently than last year but still rushing the batsman

 

[ManiacCrow]

Good to see a promising young batsmen in Wylie score runs, but a bit concerned about the drop off in young batsmen coming thru the NSW system. Always been the breeding ground for future Australian players.

 

[eth-dog]

Well done to WA. Strong win.

I think Greg Chappell was marginally younger.

Archie Jackson was the youngest, hit two shield 100's just not long after he turned 17.

I know teams are rarely at full strength in the Shield these days but scary to think WA could add S Marsh, M Marsh, Green, Inglis, Richardson, Stoinis, Agar at various stages during the year. And there's no room for Short with Wyllie and Fanning in there

Must be said the win was led by our younger players, namely Morris, Wyllie and Roc.

I don't think Bison, Green, Stoinis or Agar will play much if any at all in the baggy black this summer but when you consider Turner also didn't play, the depth is pleasing.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I need to know more about this 18 year old kid Wyllie ? Youngest player in about 30 years to score a shield ton since Ponting I think.

You won't see Teague Wyllie carrying on too much for personal milestones with the mature 18-year-old…

Weird, for some reason I always thought Kurtis Patterson was the youngest Shield centurion, pretty sure he's been talked up as such. Either way, great achievement.

Youngest to score a century on debut, but not the youngest overall.

Made the same mistake
