Bulls finish 8/502 Lynn is unbeaten on 250. Absolute superb knock.
Lynn & Hartley 251 run partnership (5th wicket) off 410 balls in 276 minutes. This is a 5th wicket partnership record for Queensland, beating 236 by Martin Love and James Hopes against Victoria in 2003/04.
I think he still needs big seasons. 1000 run seasons- selectors look for big runs, different conditions and big seasons. That's what gives them confidence. Rogers is the prime example.
Huge runs today, under pressure at 2/4 when he came in but it's his first game of the year
He does need runs and lots of them but he also needs to stay fit. Burns is in the same boat when it comes to needing runs and lots of them.
Yeah I was going to mention injury. He's yet to play a full season in 5 years.
Lynn was very inconsistent early in his career, however it has been the last 2-3 seasons that he has really kicked on. You could argue had he of been fit and scoring runs at the start of this season he could have pushed both for a WC spot and the position that Burns aquried in the tests.
