List of Australian batsmen to hit hundred on test debut

Ricky Ponting holds the record for most test centuries among Australian batsmen.

Australia stand as the most successful team in cricket history. They have dominated both red and white-ball formats, winning six ICC Men’s Cricket World Cups, nine ICC Test Maces (including the World Test Championship), and one ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

Australia went through a slump in the early 2010s after the retirement of veterans Ricky Ponting, Adam Gilchrist, Matthew Hayden, Shane Warne, and Michael Hussey. However, they bounced back quickly, producing world-class batsmen like Steve Smith and David Warner to dominate the next era.

Courage and bravery have always been a key part of their cricket. While other teams take a cautious approach in tough times, Australia’s mindset has been about imposing themselves on the opposition.

Over the years, Australia have produced many world-class batsmen who stand among the greatest in test cricket. A few of them even managed to score a century on their test debut, including the first ever centurion in the history of test cricket – Charles Bannerman.

On that note, let’s take a look at the list of the Australian batsmen to hit hundred on their test debut.
