Weatherald scores 112 to push back into Test frame after axing
Dropped opener scores unbeaten 112 on day one after Australia's Bangladesh loss in August.
Jake Weatherald scored an unbeaten 112 on day one of the Shield clash, reminding selectors he deserves a recall after being dropped following Australia's shock loss to Bangladesh. Fellow Test hopeful Nathan McSweeney could only manage 16 as NSW visitors reached 5-162 at stumps.
Earlier, NSW's Ollie Davies hit 70 (including 52 off just 36 balls) to push his own Test case. South Australia's Jordan Buckingham took 5-53, claiming both Konstas and Patterson in the same over as NSW collapsed from 0-81.
