You always remember your first.
For Shane Warne, his first appearance playing for Australia came at the SCG, and according to the great man, he did not have a good game.
But despite this, Warne credited his debut for bringing him his favourite cricket memory: walking onto the pitch and seeing his name on the billboard.
“I remember walking out to bat, I looked up at the scoreboard, and it said ‘congratulations Shane Warne, you’re the 350th Test cricketer to ever play for Australia’, that’s not a lot of people, only 350 people ever,” Warne said.
“December 30, 1991, I got picked, had New Years up in Sydney, and then made my debut at the Sydney Cricket Ground which is a pretty amazing experience.”
Shane talks about his debut, and more first impressions, in the video below:
