Former England spinner Graeme Swann was impressed with the way Mason Crane handled the occasion of his Test debut. Crane, 20, was given his chance to impress in the fifth and final Ashes Test against Australia at the SCG, becoming the country's youngest specialist spinner since Ian Peebles 91 years ago.
The Hampshire leg-spinner, who has previously played Australian first-class cricket, impressed with his control on day two. Crane beat the bat on several occasions during 17 wicket less overs. "Trust me, when he says he played here before so that helps, nothing prepares you for your Test debut," said Swann. "In front of 50,000 people, there were not 50,000 people when he played for New South Wales. I thought he coped with it beautifully and it was a very promising start."
