It was a shame for Luke Pomersbach that England's tour match against Western Australia last December was not given first-class status. Pomersbach struck a convincing unbeaten 101, impressing the selectors enough that he was handed a first-class debut in the Warriors' next Pura Cup match. In that game against Tasmania, he again proved he was comfortable at state level and made 74 and 63 in his side's three-wicket win. It should have been no surprise to anyone who saw his outstanding 145 from 128 balls for a Western Australian XI against the visiting South Africans - with an attack boasting Shaun Pollock and Makhaya Ntini - in 2005-06. A powerful left-hand middle-order batsman, Pomersbach played four Pura Cup matches in 2006-07 for 206 runs at 34.33 and would have featured more but for a minor car accident that kept him on the sidelines late in the season. In seven one-day outings he made 192 runs at 38.40 and his best was 87 in a victory over South Australia. It was no great shock when the Warriors promoted him from the rookie list for 2007-08, or when he was invited to the Academy for the 2007 off-season.
