4/362 ... and another ton for Matt Wade.
Travis Head 130*, Wade 114, Kurtis Patterson 32, Mitch Marsh 24*.
Australia A tour of the UK.
Looks like he should have been in the WC SF side. Not that he'd have had to do much to outperform Stoinis's & Handscomb's contributions.Australia A 6/223 at stumps. Harris top score with 50. Wade retired hurt on 2. The lead is 353 with a day to play.
... a serious blow to the right arm from the England Lions captain Lewis Gregory, very nearly on the point of the elbow, forced Wade to retire hurt and be sent for an X-ray on day three of a game in which the Australians have steadily taken control.
Play was stopped for several minutes as Wade struggled in obvious pain, and though he played out a few more balls before tea, he did not re-emerge in the evening session. The blow left him with plenty of rehab work ahead to be swinging the bat freely in the crucial final warm-up match between the tourists' 25 available players in Southampton.
"Matthew went for a precautionary X-ray after taking a blow to his right elbow," the team doctor John Orchard said. "The X-ray came back clear but he's probably suffering from a bruised nerve from the impact and his grip strength is impaired. Matthew'll be reassessed in the morning but it's unlikely he'll bat again in this innings. However we're very hopeful he'll recover in good time for the Australia-Australia A game next week."

Yes. Our two main fast bowlers could cause mayhem in the nets, but not out on the ground.Pies4shaw wrote:^ He probably should have been but I think you're being a bit unfair on Handscomb: it was a hospital handpass to him - how hard would it be to come into that team in that situation with no recent competitive cricket?
