Mark down Saturday November 7 as the day when two more talented young batsmen in Victoria's Aaron Finch and Tasmania's Rhett Lockyear announced themselves as players of the future.
Finch, 22 and Lockyear, 26 produced two innings that would have made any long-term cricket watcher at the MCG proud on Saturday night as the Bushrangers pulled off a miraculous win in the Ford Ranger Cup.
After Lockyear's superb 111 off just 98 balls had guided Tasmania to 7-300 off its 50 overs, the Vics pulled off the highest run chase in their history to reach the target with four balls to spare thanks to Finch's devastating unbeaten 87 off just 87 balls.
And what made the innings of Finch and Lockyear even more remarkable is that both had been struggling to establish themselves as permanent members of their respective state sides.
While Lockyear has already proven himself at the shortest form of the game - after starring in Tasmania's Twenty20 campaign last year as he found himself named in the team of the year following the KFC Big Bash - he had been unable to repeat that form in the 50-over game until Saturday night.
And Finch, who turns 23 later this month, also produced a career-best performance.
Going into Saturday night's game Lockyear was averaging just 7.2 from six one-day matches for Tasmania with a highest score of 20 while Finch was only doing slightly better from his seven previous 50-over games for Victoria with a highest score of 33 and an average of 16.33.
But the pair picked the same night to establish themselves as future stars of the 50-over game.
Finch admitted after his matchwinning performance that he wasn't even sure he will keep his place in the side once the likes of skipper Cameron White and star all-rounder Andrew McDonald return from international duty.
"Coming into today my highest score was 33 and after seven games batting at six that is probably not good enough but I was thankful selectors stuck with me and I have repaid them today," he said.
"But obviously there is a lot more work to go and who knows I might be out of the side once 'Macca' and 'Whitey' come back."
However Finch said it was a huge confidence booster to know he could perform under pressure after he rescued the Vics from a precarious 5-149.
"I think becoming accepted as being a part of a matchwinning situation is pretty crucial for a young player and that really lifts your self-belief and helps you think you can belong out there," Finch said.
"With so many players out at the moment it's a fantastic opportunity for young guys to step up and take their opportunity and I was very excited to do that obviously."
"It's definitely my career highlight to date and it's one thing being part of a winning team but another thing being a contributor in a winning team and it's just a bit of a weight off my shoulders that I have contributed for once."
Lockyear meanwhile is looking to use his superb century to reclaim his place in the one-day side on a permanent basis after only being a late inclusion on Saturday night for injured all-rounder Luke Butterworth.
The 26-year-old said his lack of opportunities has been the main reason why he has not been able to transfer his Twenty20 form into the longer versions of the game.
"Tonight I got an opportunity and I really nailed it and hopefully I can keep doing that," he said.
"I want to try and get myself back into the (Sheffield) Shield side as well so I hopefully I can continue that form in all forms of the game."
