Julian Wiener was an opening batsman whose six Tests and seven one-dayers were all crammed into a little over four months. He made a hundred on his debut for Victoria in 1977-78, adding another three hundreds in his first two seasons, and with his occasional offspin another string to his bow, he made his debut for Australia against England in 1979-80. He played four Tests against England and West Indies that season, with one half-century, and was included on the tour to Pakistan at the end of the summer, playing two more Tests. At Lahore, he hammered 93, but the selectors had seen enough.
