Absolute dream of a debut. I don't think there was much that could have gone better - did he get to hit the winning runs??
Only the 7th player in history to score 2 centuries on debut
Highest aggregate score for in debut - in the whole history of 1st class cricket - 263 runs.
On the field for the entirety of the match - 335 overs.
Not out both innings - exactly 500 deliveries over almost 11 hours.
So, who now thinks that Finch was unlucky to be dropped for this bloke?

Travis Dean sounds like a hell of a player. Those who have watched him say he is technically "very, very organised" too. Thats great to hear and he seems to be an old fashioned Test player - not a slam bang merchant. Hopefully him and Bancroft are kept away from the BBL. Jordan Silk's FC numbers have gone south ever since he started playing T20 and he was also dropped for the last game.
Also good to see Handscomb scoring a hundred. I know he doesn't keep for Victoria but I'd certainly have him ahead of his teammate and captain Wade as far as the back up keeper in Test cricket is
concerned. Ryan Carters should also be in the frame after his success vs NZ in the warm up matches. I presume he will get the gloves for NSW in the absence of Nevill. Also hope the likes of Kurtis Patterson get a run in the side now that NSW will be losing half their players to the Test squad.
Jake Doran is another name worth keeping an eye out for. Glad to see him get a game for Tasmania. Hope he gets a decent run.
All in all, some good positive signs as far as young batsmen are concerned this season. Really hope some of them take their game to the next level and push for the Baggy Green.

sad stuff.
The SCG? No pissant town's practice strip.
I reckon that a couple of necks are feeling warm.
