Luke Pomersbach played the innings of a lifetime at Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night to put Brisbane Heat into the KFC T20 Big Bash League final and himself into contention for a national call-up.

T20 - Etihad Stadium

15 January 2013 - Day 1, Session 2

Renegades 1st Innings

Up against the heavily-favoured Melbourne Renegades, Pomersbach smashed an incredible 112 off just 70 balls, including 15 fours and two sixes, to help the Heat post 3-183. The Renegades fell 15 runs short in their run chase.

Pomersbach was handed a lifeline by Brisbane coach Darren Lehmann after a series of off-field indiscretions with Western Australia, and a much-publicised arrest in India while playing in the IPL.

The talented 28-year-old has taken the opportunity with both hands, and is now the leading run-scorer in the competition with 360 runs at an average of 45 and strike-rate of 146.34.

With three Twenty20 games coming up for Australia this summer - two against Sri Lanka and one against West Indies - Pomersbach's name is likely to come up in national selection discussions.


Should Luke Pomersbach be rewarded with a call-up to Australia's T20 side? Have your say by leaving a comment at the bottom of the page.


Australia's selectors have already shown a desire to reward BBL form, having called-up in-form players Aaron Finch, Ben Cutting and Kane Richardson for the start of the one-day series against Sri Lanka.

Pomersbach has put forward a strong case for his selection, especially with his last two innings' - last weekend he hit 82 off 42 balls in the do-or-die clash with Hobart Hurricanes.

The left-hander famously made his one - and so far, only - international appearance in a T20 game in Perth, when he was plucked from the crowd and thrust into the team at the last minute after Brad Hodge pulled out with injury.

If Pomersbach makes a second appearance for Australia, it's likely to be a much more conventiontional call-up.
