Liam Blackford's stunning debut 149* pulls of remarkable Victoria chase

Liam Blackford delivered an extraordinary performance on debut, compiling an unbeaten 149 to guide Victoria through a stunning run chase. The wicketkeeper's match-winning effort marks an exceptional milestone in his professional journey.

The breakout innings follows a severe health crisis that previously jeopardized his athletic future. Three years prior to this maiden appearance, Blackford faced a potential end to his playing days after being diagnosed with a blood clot.
