INJURY-PLAGUED Aussie quick James Pattinson has sent selectors a timely reminder of his value, clubbing 137 off 62 balls in a Premier Cricket Twenty20 match yesterday.

Easing his way back into the bowling crease, Pattinson shone for Dandenong with the bat in a knock Ringwood captain David King says he’s never seen at Premier level.

Ringwood had the Panthers 3-17 before Pattinson came in at four and smashed 137 off 62 balls to catapult the home side to 4-202.

“He got away from us didn’t he? I’ve never seen anyone hit the ball so cleanly,’’ King said.

“He couldn’t stop hitting sixes, it didn’t really matter where we put the field because he kept hitting it over their heads.

“We didn’t bowl well and hit our areas consistently but in saying that it was some pretty impressive batting.”

Pattinson bowled four overs and took 2-25.

Ringwood (5-167) fell short in its chase but was delighted with the innings of 86 by opener Joe Loorham.

“We needed 10 an over from ball one which makes it hard but I thought that’s the best we’ve batted in T20. I think that’s our highest score and the way we went about it was really good,’’ King said.

“Joe batted really, really well. He didn’t play a bad shot, he wasn’t slogging he was playing cricket shots and we know he can do that and he showed us.

“He was really, really impressive, a big positive for us.”

On Saturday the Rams (5-107, Ian Holland 46) were left disappointed as they fell to Geelong (6-108) on the second last ball of the day.

Brendan Walsh snared 2-11 for the Rams.

Ringwood play Frankston Peninsula then St Kilda this weekend.
