 Profile

Probably no player has ever debuted for his state against such exalted opposition as Rob Quiney did in October 2005. Quiney found himself called in to the Victoria team for the warm-up game against the ICC World XI at Melbourne's Junction Oval. He faced up to a bowling attack that featured Shoaib Akhtar, Shaun Pollock, Muttiah Muralitharan, Daniel Vettori and Makhaya Ntini. Quiney can brag that none of them dismissed him but he has little else to boast about from that match as he was run out for 3. In 2006-07, he broke into the one-day team and missed only two games, while also getting three opportunities at first-class level. He top scored with 82 batting at No. 3 in his Pura Cup debut in Hobart and later that week made his first limited-overs fifty on the same ground.

His promising start meant he was given plenty of chances in 2007-08 and while he had an excellent one-day campaign, his first-class efforts were disappointing. Chosen to open for much of the season, his best was 55 against Tasmania and nine games brought 298 runs at 21.28. In the FR Cup he thrived, scoring 380 runs at 47.50 - second only to David Hussey in Victoria - and posting four half-centuries. His most amazing display came against a star-studded New South Wales at the MCG, when he hammered 89 from 57 balls. Facing Brett Lee for the first time in his career, Quiney did not take a backward step and repeatedly pulled and hooked him for boundaries. A talented left-hand batsman, Quiney will be aiming to transfer his limited-overs success to the Pura Cup in 2008-09.
