Player once went to watch T20I with girlfriend, went on to play the match

Luke Pomersbach had gone to watch Australia-New Zealand T20I in Perth on December 11, 2007, with his girlfriend and was parking his car when Australia's team manager called him to play the match. The then 23-year-old was asked to replace Brad Hodge, who injured his back. Interestingly, Pomersbach was banned from his state side at the time over disciplinary issues.
