He was the only Victorian to score multiple first-class centuries last season, scoring 104 against South Australia, 108 against New South Wales and 109 against Tasmania.“I’ve been reasonably successful at Shield level since moving to Victoria, and obviously now coming back , I’d like to keep improving again.
