Career
Silk was recruited from Sydney grade cricket where he holds the record for being the youngest player to make a century on debut. Silk fielded as a substitute for Australia against Sri Lanka in Hobart on 16 December 2012, and caught Nuwan Kulasekara off the bowling of Nathan Lyon. Silk made his first class debut against Queensland on 7 March 2013.
In his second game, he made a century to help Tasmania into the Sheffield Shield final.
In April 2013, Silk was selected as part of the Australia A cricket team to tour England. Silk currently plays for the Sydney Sixers franchise in the 2013-2014 Big Bash League.
The catch was described by Sir Vivian Richards as "one of the greatest grabs of all-time" and caused a Twitter meltdown amongst cricket fans and players alike. On 22 January 2015, Silk took another spectacular catch for the Sixers, as well as scoring a match-winning 69 not out against Sydney Thunder on the final home game for Brett Lee.
