Sam Konstas missed out on a century but Kurtis Patterson was able to send a timely reminder to Australia's selectors as NSW ended day one in complete control of their Sheffield Shield match against Western Australia at the WACA Ground.
After winning the toss and batting, NSW went to stumps well placed at 4-345, with Patterson (117no off 209 balls), Konstas (71 off 142), Lachlan Shaw (61 off 107) and Ollie Davies (52 off 58) all posting important knocks.
