Nathan McSweeney Hits First Sheffield Shield Century for South Australia
Nathan McSweeney has scored his first Sheffield Shield century for South Australia, giving his team hope of a win against Western Australia.
McSweeney's ton, along with a patient 84 from Henry Hunt, helped South Australia reach 4-297 at stumps on day three, leading WA by 205.
After a brief stint in the Test side last summer, McSweeney has been solid without being spectacular, and this century marks a significant milestone for him.
McSweeney was thrown into the deep end and asked to move up and open against India last summer.
With this performance, South Australia is eyeing off the chance of setting a fourth-innings target at the WACA on Friday.
