“It’s not just my runs”: Blake Cattle’s century is a family story

Australian youth cricketer Blake Cattle overcame early trouble to compile a resilient century while touring India. Walking to the crease after his side fell to twenty-seven runs for three wickets, the seventeen-year-old batsman compiled one hundred and two runs off one hundred and ninety-eight balls, hitting seven boundaries.

With his parents and brothers watching from the stands in Rajkot, the achievement marked a deeply personal milestone rooted in years of familial training and travel support.

While the innings provided a competitive total for the touring squad, the collapse of the final six wickets for just forty-three runs left the teenager wishing he had shouldered more responsibility at the crease. Supported by teammate Zed Hollick during a vital partnership, Cattle navigated low-bounce conditions by prioritizing straight drives before eventually reflecting on missed opportunities to extend his time at the crease.
