In Episode 10 of Scoreboard, host Chris Titley sits down with fast bowler Tom Whitney, whose dream debut for Queensland saw him take eight wickets and become one of the most talked-about names in Aussie cricket.

Tom opens up about the nerves before his first Shield game, the thrill of getting his baggy maroon, and the wild moment he found himself trending on Cricinfo. He shares the story behind the dropped catch, the relief of that first wicket, and what it felt like to be bowling in the big leagues after a tough injury layoff.

From growing up idolising Shane Watson to studying property economics as a plan B, Tom talks about staying grounded, working on his mental game, and the balance between confidence, nerves, and humble hard work.

🏏 A cracking listen for cricket fans, young athletes, and anyone who’s ever had to back themselves on debut.
