I don't think you can be too reactionary with this stuff, and throwing blokes in test teams because they made a tonne against a touring side.
I watched most of the game. Burns, Renshaw and Labushagne got good ones early, though you'd hope they could tough it out a bit better than they did. Pucovski and Sangha's dismissals were more disappointing - caught at fine leg off half-trackers.
I don't think Patterson is radically better than the others, though he clearly batted very well here. In fact they are all at roughly the same level. Burns and Renshaw have a bit longer track record, which is why they got the nod, and I'd imagine the Pucovski/Patterson decision was a coin toss.
The really sad thing here is you can't say to Patterson 'great dig, now one or two more of those for NSW and you're in'. Instead he goes back to Big Bash, which is ridiculous. They really need to keep the 2nd XI comp going in this period, at least.
