I'd rather make a scratchy fifty than a good nine says Quiney – Cricket News Update
Following his limited input in the drawn opening Test against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rob-Quiney-c2340, admitted that only runs under his belt will make certain that he remains a part of the national team's plans for the future.
Quiney was brought into the national team’s mix following an injury to all-rounder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mickey-Arthur-c1969 as the best 9 he had ever seen.
His medium-pace was further employed by the hosts on a flat Brisbane track, which offered little in terms of movement to the fast bowlers. While his chances to appear in the upcoming Test match look strong, it may be the last opportunity for him to impress the selectors after they named http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Watson-c96326 in the squad.
The 31-year-old suffered a calf injury while bowling for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 and the selectors have made it clear that the explosive all-rounder will only be selected if he proves his fitness as a bowler.
Quiney’s debut outing looked promising until it lasted, which began with a confident pull off http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 registered an unbeaten 259.
Quiney nonetheless, is looking forward to the upcoming clash and said he would rather score a scratchy fifty than a good nine.
"I'd rather make a scratchy fifty than a good nine," Quiney told reporters in Melbourne on Saturday. "I see this little window as being little. If I can get a score on the board and show that I can get runs at that level, it's going to help me out in the future. If I don't, the depth of the batting is getting better and better and people are scoring runs at Shield level and one-day level and they're doing a job. It's good healthy competition in the Australian setup."
