154 and 109* on debut for Victoria.

Sixth player in history of first class cricket to get two hundreds on debut and the first time ever in Shield Cricket.

Arthur Morris, Nari Contractor and Virag Awate, Tharanga Indika and Aamer Malik have all done it in first class cricket. Morris did it for New South Wales but the Shield was suspended due to the war.

326 runs without dismissal; first class record for the start of a career yesterday when he got to 63.
