over Wessels for the Second Test. However, this did not happen and the retained Wessels rediscovered his form. Nonetheless, when Graeme Wood had injury concerns before the Fourth Test, Kerr was placed on standby for him, although Wood ended up playing in the match. Kerr's form was not outstanding over the middle part of the summer, but he did make 60 and 201 against Tasmania. He later made 9 and 0 in the Sheffield Shield final, which Queensland lost to New South Wales. In total, Kerr made 623 first-class runs in 1984–85 at 44.50. ODI Player After Kerr scored 201 against Tasmania, he was added to the Australian one-day squad for the second World Series Cup final, against the West Indies. Kerr was 12th man in this game, but made his debut in the third, selected over Kim Hughes. Batting at number three, Kerr scored 4 in an Australian defeat.
