Hugh Weibgen on Batting with Warner, Big Bash Chaos and Bouncing Back from Setbacks

Chris Titley | March 31, 2025

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.

Calm head, sharp mind, and a future that’s only just getting started.
