"Of the 97 men to have preceded Nathan Ellis in representing Australia's T20 side, surely none had encountered as much rejection before their debut.

Ellis made history on Friday evening in Dhaka when he became the first man to take a T20 International hat-trick in his first game, hardly 90 minutes after being presented with his maiden Australia cap by fellow New South Wales native Mitchell Starc.

The hat-trick was arguably the most uplifting single moment Australia have had on an extended limited-overs tour that has now seen them give up unassailable 3-0 T20 series leads twice in the space of a month."
