His skills as a cricketer came into attention on 29 January 1921 when he scored a century against England's touring Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). Playing for Geelong, Sharland scored 102 runs out of Geelong's total of 261 in their tour match at Corio Oval. His innings, which was scored as an 18-year-old, earned praise from opponent Jack Hobbs who stated that Sharland "is a hard man to get out" and "is developing on the right lines". He was awarded an inscribed bat from the Mayor of Geelong to commemorate his achievement. The Age wrote an article stating that despite his young age Sharland could justifiably be selected in the Victorian side which were due to play the MCC on 4 February. He however did not make the team and instead it was as a football personality that he made his name.
