A talented cricketer from the Isle of Wight has made waves down under with a match defining and unbeaten maiden First Class century.
Angus Lovell was born on the Island before relocating to New Zealand and settling in Queensland as a youngster.
Last weekend saw the 25 year-old right-handed batsman sparkle with a fantastic 146 not out and three wickets for Queensland against New South Wales (NSW) in only his fifth First Class outing.
Although the match, battled out of a flat deck, resulted in a draw, Lovell was given man-of-the match for his sterling efforts.
The 25-year-old put on a 310-run stand with Ben McDermott, who scored 87, as Test quick Josh Hazlewood failed to take a wicket in 24 overs.
Lovell, who took 3 for 13 with the ball from just 4.3 overs to clean up the hosts' tail, came into the game off the back of making an unbeaten 250 for Queensland's second XI against Victoria's second XI a fortnight ago.
