Second Test centurions Empty Second Test centurions

This arvo Sid/Sir Les/Banjo became the 13th Australian bat in the last 50 years to score a ton in his second outing - joining a club less celebrated, but no less illustrious (for a start DGB and Trumper are included) than the guys who did it one Test earlier.

In chronological order from first (in 1972 as it turns out) to most recent: (and no running to Crocinfo):

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.

I'll be back on here early arvo tomorrow to review and update.. Don't forget the guy who qualifies for both clubs....or the other bloke who walked on for his second Test with no centuries and walked off with two.

There's a couple of Christian names represented more than once....also the highest and third-highest scores remain outstanding

Skip North. His was ton on debut.

But my memory does take me back to Tony Mann who made a ton as nightwatchman v India in Perth in 77-78 in his 2nd Test (of just 4). This was our 1st series without the WSC players.

Rings a bell. Mann was a terrific player.

I reckon Dave Warner blitzed the Kiwis in Hobart in a losing effort in his 2nd Test. I was at this Test.

The memory banks are working overtime here. Cool

So I'm confident of Ross Edwards (opening the batting from memory - due to failure of lardy's mate - for a big hundred on the 72 tour of England), Tony Mann and Dave Warner.

Did Fat Cat Greg Ritchie get one early in his career on a sub-continent tour??

Geez, I'm struggling now.

I think Tom Moody might have done a Patto and scored a soft ton against the Lankans early in his career.  Might have been his third test though.

I reckon I'm gonna need Nerkles to fill in his table to allow me to focus in a bit for the missing one or two.

BTW, wish they would stop calling the Patterson ton his debut ton. Surely maiden is the word.

His debut was in Brisbane.
