With five booming sixes and all-or-nothing daring, Australian cricket's shooting star Jake Fraser-McGurk has announced himself as the Indian Premier League's latest big hit.
Fraser-McGurk had been warming the bench for Delhi Capitals, waiting patiently for his day in the spotlight - and when the moment came, he grabbed it hungrily on Friday, playing a spectacular winning hand on debut for the struggling franchise with a half-century that lifts them off the foot of the IPL table.
Coach Ricky Ponting, looking to change the fortunes of the struggling franchise, decided to give the lad from Box Hill, who had turned 22 on Thursday, a belated birthday present - and it was his old Test colleague Justin Langer, now in charge of Lucknow Super Giants, who suffered the consequences.
