Tasmania opener Jake Weatherald scored a second fifty for the match as the Tigers drew with Queensland<\/p>\n

Queensland v Tasmania | Sheffield Shield | Day 4<\/p>\n

Test aspirant Jake Weatherald posted his second fifty for the match as Tasmania’s Sheffield Shield run-fest against Queensland ended in a draw.<\/p>\n

Trailing the Bulls by 233 runs after the first innings, the Tigers batted their way to safety at Allan Border Field on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Tasmania finished on 7-317 in their second innings when the captains shook hands about 45 minutes before the scheduled stumps time.<\/p>\n

In-form Tigers opener Weatherald, one of many in contention to partner Usman Khawaja at the top for the start of this summer’s Ashes, followed up a 67 in the first innings with 57.<\/p>\n

Tasmania No.4 Caleb Jewell faced 147 balls for his 67 before falling to tireless Bulls quick Michael Neser (2-76).<\/p>\n

Queensland thought they were still an outside chance of securing a win when Jewell departed.<\/p>\n

Chaudhary takes five on Sheffield Shield debut<\/p>\n

But Tasmania’s Indian-born Shield debutant Nikhil Chaudhary smashed the Tigers well clear of being in any danger.<\/p>\n

Chaudhary, who claimed 5-108 as Queensland piled on 612 in their first innings, belted an unbeaten 76 from 80 balls from No.8.<\/p>\n

The match will be remembered for important centuries from Queensland Test hopefuls Matt Renshaw and Marnus Labuschagne.<\/p>\n

Renshaw powers his way to season-opening Shield ton<\/p>\n

Renshaw, opening the batting with veteran Test opener Usman Khawaja, compiled 128 to enhance his chances of adding to his 14 Tests for Australia.<\/p>\n

Labuschagne, dropped for Australia’s most recent Tests against the West Indies in the Caribbean, smashed 160 in an important return to form.<\/p>\n

Labuschagne goes large after ending red-ball century drought<\/p>\n

The Bulls captain also scored a domestic one-day century last month.<\/p>\n

National selector George Bailey was present in Brisbane to watch Labuschagne grow in confidence after he took 12 balls to get off the mark.<\/p>\n
