Matthew Renshaw, an Australian batter, pushed his case for the upcoming Ashes tour by hitting his second century in a red-ball match against New Zealand A in Lincoln. Renshaw is in a tight race to be chosen for the Ashes tour. During his great innings, Renshaw helped the Australia A team score 140 runs off 261 balls in their second inning. In the first match last week, the Queenslander scored 112 and 78, which were both very good.
Australia, in particular A tour of New Zealand was set up to look like England, and Dukes balls, which are also used for “The Ashes,” were used. The left-handed player hit a home run and set 12 boundaries during his 19th first-class ton. In addition, this was Renshaw’s sixth ton in the past year. His turn was over when he nicked a ball while trying to drive it and a fielder in the slip cordon caught it.
Matthew Renshaw had a terrible trip to India. In the first two tests, he only got four runs. But based on his recent performances at home and in list A, the batter with 103 caps is still in the running to be on Australia’s team for the England tour.
I love hitting with Matthew Renshaw. I really like hitting with him because he keeps his head on the field. Ward
Now, in terms of how the games have gone, the best part of Australia’s tour of New Zealand has been how bad light and rain have ruined games. In the second match that is still going on, Rain again played Possum, which led to an early end on day three with 20 overs left to play. Tim Ward and Matthew Renshaw put on 136 runs together, which helped Australia A end the day with 297/5 on the board. At the moment, the visitors are 304 runs ahead of the home team.
After the stumps, Matthew Renshaw partner Ward talked about how their partnership had changed the game and said that they had batted together three times so far and made century partnerships each time. Also, the Tasmanian batsman did not hesitate to say how much he enjoys batting with the Queenslander.
“I love it (batting with Matthew Renshaw). Every time we’ve batted together, we’ve put up more than 100 runs together, “Ward said.
I really like batting with him, the 25-year-old reportedly said to cricket.com.au. He keeps things simple and cool out there, and it’s a lot of fun.”
Even though they were off to good starts, captain Aaron Hardie (33) and Campbell Kellaway (31) were both out quickly when they were run out. Tim Ward was the only other batter who got to raise his bat, and his brave 63-run knock is worth mentioning. Also, he and Renshaw are the only two batters who have scored more than 200 runs in the series against New Zealand A. Logan van Beek, a Dutch international, took two wickets (2/47) for the Kiwis. This was a good show for the hosts.
