Daniel Drew put collectively his greatest first-class rating in an undefeated 208, as South Australia cruised previous 400 on day two of their Sheffield Shield match in opposition to leaders Western Australia at Adelaide Oval.
Resuming on 160, Drew reached his double century shortly earlier than the lunch break with the hosts later declaring at 7-438, including 127 in Saturday’s first session for the lack of two wickets.
Drew collected 25 boundaries in his 345-ball innings, which far exceeded his earlier greatest first-class rating of 130.
He placed on 78 for the eighth wicket with Nathan McAndrew (56), who dominated the stand with some massive hitting – smashing 4 sixes over deep midwicket, two off David Moody and the opposite two off Corey Rocchiccioli.
Drew, who represented an Australia XI in opposition to Pakistan again in 2019, had a life on 204 when Marcus Stoinis dropped a pointy probability at brief midwicket.
WA loved some success earlier within the session with Harry Nielsen (28) caught at level by Rocchiccioli off Charlie Stobo (3-54), ending a sixth wicket stand of 53.
Stobo then took a catch at midwicket off Matthew Kelly (2-57) to dismiss Ben Manenti for 5.
