Top debutant award averaging 20 sinting? Surely you jest…

His debut knock in the second innings was quite impressive and it was the highest individual score in the series. I thought he would kick on from that but he's now back in the team.

@jamcricket

Still has work to do, especially on his concentration.

@Chrissy

Scammy and the Cabal will drop him for this recognition. SMH.
