Q: In Episode 43 of Scoreboard, Chris Titley sits down with rising cricket star Hugh Weibgen, fresh off his breakout Big Bash campaign, to talk backyard beginnings, captaining Australia U19s, and learning fast under stadium lights.
Hugh shares what it was like to open the batting with David Warner, debut in front of 48,000 screaming fans, and get subbed into a game after a freak injury.
He reflects on the under-15 heartbreak that lit a fire in him, how he’s chasing his Queensland Bulls debut, and the personal scoreboard moment that changed everything.
From elite routines to mastering reverse sweeps with help from Sam Billings, Hugh’s journey is full of humility, hunger, and a deep love for the game—plus a few cheeky pickleball sessions on the side.

Q: In Episode 41 of Scoreboard, Chris Titley sits down with Josh Brown—the humble Queenslander turned Big Bash star—who went from indoor cricket comps and subbies 250s to smashing 60 off 23 at the Gabba on New Year’s Day.
Josh opens up about his rapid rise, being called up by the Heat, and how indoor cricket, gym sessions, and a contact lens prescription helped launch his pro career. He shares the nerves of debuting in front of 55,000, what it’s like to build your own bats at Cooper, and why dropping a catch in a final (to 55k groans) is still one of the wildest memories of his career.
He also talks fishing, toy car collecting, being mistaken for a quiet guy, and the mindset shift that helped him stop chasing the perfect innings—and start owning his role.
