Who was the last Australian batsman to make a century on debut?

Think it was Marcus North against the Saffers.

Nah reckon he only made about 40 against the Poms in his debut

[JK]

Oh oops .. Did North make his on debut before after Hughes? (**** my memory's shocking)

Pretty sure they made their debut in same match with Hilfy.
Was strange to have 3 debutants in the same match.
North made a ton but i think Hughes got a duck 1st innings and a 70ish in 2nd dig.
Could be wrong though

[Pat Malone]

North is last Aussie to make a ton on debut.

[wristwatcher]

WELL DONE SOS

[CoverKing]

North first test ton.
Second test of that series Hughes hit centuries in both innings

[stan]

Well I bagged the selection of Marsh and I'm happy to eat my words as they never tasted better. It was good to see him tough it out and stay there. Thanks to his and Hussey's hard work the Aussies are very much in control on a deck that will at some stage self destruct!

Sangakara takes the 2nd New Ball

Dilshan: "Sanga, what would you do?"
Sanga: "I'd take the new ball now"
Dilshan: "Great idea, what do you bowl?"
Sanga: "Err, what do you mean?"

Dilshan: "Sanga what do you think I mean? What do you bowl?"
Sanga: "You know I'm really a wicket keeper right?"
Dilshan: "I dont see how thats relavent, your not keeping now"
Sanga: "Have you been drinking?"

[wristwatcher]

I only saw highlights yesterday and could only keep posted via safooty. Am i missing something, did KS really have a bowl yesterday or are you just extracting the urine based on the fact that Dilshan may well be test crickets worst Captain since Kim Hughes

He seriously bowled 2 overs. I'm not sure if he did take the new ball or not as I havent gone back and ran through the commentary. But still its fund to take the piss.

Seriously I know that Hussey came on and got a wicket, but he can actually bowl a bit. Sanga probably doesnt even roll the arm over in the nets!

Sri Lanka better get used to these thumpings without Murali bcos they are just SHIIIT house.Only thing going for them is a couple of OK batsmen on batsmen friendly pitches, apart fromthat, they're CRAP.

[Squids]

Sri Lanka better have some decent youth coming through,

Dilshan, Sangkkara, Jayawardne, Samaweera aren't going to be there is 2/3 years time.

357/3 --- I say bat till tea, 300 lead, hope to make some inroads tonight and finish the game by tea tomorrow.

Dominance by Australia.
