Australian sports fans may have found their newest cult hero after a little known fast bowler from Manly-Warringah Cricket Club came onto the field at the Sydney Cricket Ground during the third Test against Pakistan on Saturday afternoon.

The Channel Nine commentary team were struggling to work out who the substitute fielder was as he was greeted with a rousing reaction from the crowd when fielding his first ball.

Mickey Edwards was a sight to see at 198cm with flowing gold locks leaking under his baggy green - a sight not lost on a day five crowd looking for some fun.
