Eric Freeman now nurtures budding Australian cricketers

The first person recorded to have achieved this rear feat was Australian all-rounder Eric Freeman. In his debut game against India at the Gabba in 1968, Freeman cut loose on the very second ball that he faced as he smashed Erapalli Prasanna for a six against his name.

Freeman, who batted at number eight, went on to represent the Aussies in only 10 more Tests.
