Weatherald took full advantage of his life, hitting two boundaries in the same over. The Tasmanian opener went on to make 67 from 99 balls to continue his strong form. He partnered with captain Jordan Silk to rescue the visitors' innings after Silk's decision to bat first looked to be backfiring horribly. Weatherald said he and Silk tried to put the pressure back on the Queensland attack in their stand. Silk went on to make his 104 from 170 balls and was filthy with himself when he was also out caught and bowled to Mitch Swepson.
