West Torrens batsman Pat Fisher smashes two quickfire tons in Grade Twenty20 competition

WEST Torrens cricketer Pat Fisher could be on the Adelaide Strikers’ radar after smashing two of the fastest tons seen in the local Twenty20 competition.

DO  NOT be surprised if ­Adelaide Strikers coach Darren Berry pulls a rabbit out of the hat at West ­Torrens Cricket Club next season.

The man who found a diamond in the rough in Test off-spinner Nathan Lyon, uncovered rising leg-spinner James Muirhead and recalled a 39-year-old Brad Young to big-time cricket has another ace hidden up his sleeve.

Eagles grade cricketer Pat Fisher would be on Berry’s radar after smashing two of the fastest centuries seen in the local Twenty20 competition.

Fisher, 23, cracked a quick-fire 105 not out from 44 balls against limited-overs powerhouse Tea Tree Gully in December.

He followed that stunning knock with an unbeaten 118 from 64 balls against the SACA under-19 state squad earlier this month.

The master blaster’s first century was brought up from just 42 deliveries and his second from 58.

While records are sketchy, the 42-ball ton is understood to be a grade cricket record.

Fisher clubbed a combined 17 sixes and 16 fours across the two innings, with teammates describing his hitting as some of the biggest they have seen.

“I was told to go out and have a crack and things just clicked for me,’’ said Fisher, who until this ­season had played just one A grade game.

“I freed my hands up and got hold of a few long balls.’’

The right-hander is a product of the Eagles’ junior program, having come through the prestigious Ray Sutton Shield competition.

Fisher’s goal is to consolidate his position in the A grade side but he said he would jump at the opportunity to become Berry’s next project player.

“To play at that level would be a dream come true,’’ he said.

Meanwhile, West Torrens has announced a new senior club coach for next season.

Standout junior coach Adam Rumbelow will ­replace Ian Bogisch.
