Given the national side's dearth of all-rounders, the Aussie selectors would probably be well served to cast their eyes over Sunshine Coast junior Eric Hipwood.
On the weekend, Hipwood reached a momentous milestone after snaring his second hat-trick of the year for the Buderim under-13s cricket side.
What makes the feat all the more remarkable is the fact he did it in his maiden year in the game.
"I've always loved cricket," he said. "Mum just never used to let me play."
Hipwood brought up his second hat-trick of the year against Nambour, finishing the game with figures of 4-10.
As if his heroics with the ball weren't enough, he also topped the batting with 40 (not out) before being forced to retire.
He brought up his first hat-trick of the year against Kenilworth, ending that game with the ultra-economic figures of 4-4.
A keen soccer, futsal and Aussie rules player, Hipwood is also training for a triathlon later in the year.
