Victorian prodigy Campbell Kellaway says he is not finished learning after breakout state summer

A Victorian prodigy has announced himself as a future star with a breakout state season, but he insists he has plenty more to learn.

Victorian prodigy Campbell Kellaway says he is still “learning” despite a coming-of-age Sheffield Shield season.

Kellaway’s career-best 165no against Western Australia improved his tally to 738 runs this summer and excludes his rapid century to propel the Vics into the one-day final.

The 22-year-old, who went to the top of the order this year, is the youngest player since Peter Handscomb in 2015-16 to top Victoria’s run chart in a Sheffield Shield season.

Kellaway says he is enjoying the challenge of his promotion but still has plenty to learn.

“I like opening, I am good mates with Marcus Harris, he is very good to bat with,” he said.

“He (Harris) is very experienced, so it’s good for me to learn from him. I love batting and am enjoying it at the moment.

“Some days it feels really hard, some days you have a good day. I am learning along the way and enjoying the challenge.”

Kellaway’s monster ton was further proof of Victoria’s bright future after teenager Oliver Peake made a first-innings half century on debut.

The Vics declared 382 runs ahead of Western Australia after a Jack Wildermuth century ensured Queensland a Shield final berth.

“I think it went through phases where it felt really tricky and then phases where it felt nicer,” Kellaway said of the WACA wicket after day 3.

“It was good once we got through the new ball. It was bit nicer for a bit, but once the second new ball came it got tough again there – it was a good challenge.”
