Excited to see Bryce Street develop as a batsman, states Joe Burns

Street hit two impressive centuries in his debut season, the only Queensland batter with two tons this season, and finished on the heels of Burns in the Bulls’ run scorer’s list with 489 runs to his name. Burns is mighty impressed by the young lad and is awestruck by the way young Street went about the season to end up as the player to have faced the most balls in the competition in the 2019/20 season.

"I've been really impressed by Bryce Street. I can tell you first-hand that being a young opening batter at the Gabba is not easy, especially with the Dukes ball as well – Shield cricket can be pretty relentless for a young guy to get his head around. But the level of maturity Bryce showed, his application – he faced the most balls in the competition – and to make two Shield hundreds showed he's got the ability to play at this level and I'm excited to see where he can go," Burns told cricket.com.au.

"It's hard to go past Nic Maddinson. He's obviously had a really good summer but also since going to Victoria, his numbers speak for themselves and credit to him. He averaged 86 for the season! That makes it pretty easy to say he's been the standout player."
