Australia’s most in-form batsman Kurtis Patterson believes he is hitting the ball better than ever and in career-best touch ahead of a potential Test debut at the Gabba on Thursday.

As first revealed by the Herald, Patterson was added to Australia’s squad on Monday off the back of two hundreds against Sri Lanka in a tour match in Hobart last week.

Scores of 157 not out and 102 not out all but forced selectors to parachute the 25-year-old into his first Australian Test squad and put him within reach of earning a baggy green.

Including a grade match for St George, Patterson has now plundered 426 runs in less than a fortnight without being dismissed and will go into the Brisbane match, if selected, brimming with confidence.
