Adelaide rains for centuries during the Sheffield Shield. NSW all-rounder Sean Abbott will be the last to join the fast-growing 100 club this season.
It’s a club that Mitchell Starc almost added on Tuesday when he was 86 and wasn’t eliminated by Tasmania.
But with the Blues leading the way with 347 runs in the closing stages of day three and Abbott hitting triple the numbers, Captain Peter Nevill explained.
Starc was furious that he didn’t have a chance to make his own ton.

As he left the field before preparing to roll again, he tossed his bat to the ground and did the same with his gloves in the locker room.
His frustration is understandable given that after 103 appearances for Australia and New South Wales, he has never had a prime century.
The Australian got terribly close in 2013 when he was sacked for 99 games against India in Mohali.
Nonetheless, Nevill’s reputation for jumping in Tasmania late in the day may have been confirmed when Trent Copeland snapped two quick wickets.
