Handscomb's match-saving ton roused by Rogers debrief

A mid-match debrief with Chris Rogers has helped Peter Handscomb post an unbeaten century at Bankstown Oval, where he defied NSW's star-studded attack to salvage a Marsh Sheffield Shield draw for Victoria.

The captain's knock of 124 not out from Handscomb spanned 327 deliveries and 435 minutes, ruining the Blues' hopes of victory on day four in Sydney.

Handscomb's first Shield century in more than two years, coming 783 days after he most recently donned the Baggy Green, also sent a reminder to national selectors.
