The man cheekily dubbed "Elvis", Test discard Usman Khawaja, may be on song ahead of the Ashes but Queensland coach Stuart Law believes Ben Cutting was the hit of the domestic one-day tournament.
'Elvis' rises to the occasion
Stringing together scores of 62, 66 and 63 for the Bulls earned Khawaja his nickname from teammates - because Elvis was the king of the 60s.
QUICK SINGLE: Bulls go back-to-back
However, Law did not believe it had achieved much else as the race for the Test No.6 spot intensified before next month's Ashes opener in Brisbane.
Then Test rival David Warner hit three brutal tons out of four innings for NSW.
"When he (Khawaja) hit three 60s at one stage I thought no (he was not in the Ashes frame)," Law said.
"But after Davey Warner scored two hundreds Ussie saw the commotion that caused with the press and the Australian selectors.
"He had a different look in his eye."
Khawaja stroked an unbeaten 88 against Western Australia before upstaging Warner by setting up Queensland's remarkable five-wicket win over NSW in the one-day final with a magnificent 104 from 100 balls.
"It was the best I had ever seen him bat. His footwork was superb and ball striking amazing," ex-Test batsman Law said.
Dumped ahead of the last Ashes Test at The Oval, Khawaja is in the frame for a recall after amassing 426 one-day runs at 71.
However, Law believed Cutting should have been the talk of the tournament after Queensland sealed back-to-back one-day titles.
Fast bowler Cutting (41no off 21 balls) chimed into a sixth-wicket partnership of 62 off 35 balls with Chris Lynn (58no off 40) to seal victory with five balls to spare.
Lynn - not selected for the Bulls' Sheffield Shield side - was rewarded with selection as an import for the WA Chairman's Invitational XI's three-day tour clash with England in Perth from Thursday.
But Law believed Cutting should be in the limelight after a tournament haul of 195 runs at 97.50 and 10 wickets at 29.80.
"They talk about player of the tournament well what about Ben Cutting," he said.
"He came up to me yesterday (before the final) and said `I haven't bowled well, I owe the group something'.
"He delivered for the boys again on a massive stage under immense pressure.
"There is a T20 World Cup coming up next year and he's done his chances no harm at all."
Law believed Lynn had some homework to do before being mentioned in the Test frame but looked forward to what he could do against England.
Lynn was overlooked for Queensland's opening Shield clash with South Australia in Adelaide starting on Wednesday after selectors opted for batsmen Joe Burns and Peter Forrest's return.
