Fastest fifty ... Pomersbach acknowledges the crowd after notching his 50. Source: Nikki Davis-jones / News Limited
Luke Pomersbach wrote his way into the record books at Blundstone Arena on Saturday night after smashing the fastest half-century of the KFC T20 Big Bash League season.
The Brisbane Heat batsman, who is one of a number of players to have made a successful move between teams for this season's competition, clobbered 82 runs off just 42 balls, guiding his side to a huge win over Hobart Hurricanes.
He reached 50 off just 24 balls, eclipsing the previous best effort this season of 25 balls by Chris Gayle, but still short of the 18-ball effort David Warner hit for New South Wales in 2009-2010.
The win ensured the Heat snuck into the semi-finals, and it once again proved that when Pomersbach is on song, he's one of the most destructive batsmen in the country.
He showed glimpses of that kind of form while playing for Western Australia, but seems to have come into his own at the Heat.
He took apart well-credentialed T20 bowlers such as Ben Laughlin, Doug Bollinger and Jason Krejza during his innings, hitting 13 fours and two sixes in his powerful knock.

The Heat will be sweating on Pomersbach's fitness heading into their semi-final against Melbourne Renegades, as he copped a nasty ball on his foot towards the end of his innings, but it will take a lot to stop this super-blaster from padding up at Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night.
Pomersbach was well-supported by Heat bastman Joe Burns, but Burns's highlights of the night came not with the bat but with a sensational piece of fielding during Hobart's innings.
Travis Birt looked to have added another six to his tally when Burns, fielding on the mid-wicket boundary, raced across the turf and stuck out his left hand just as it was about to cross the rope.
He then displayed some fancy footwork to stop himself falling over the boundary, regaining his balance to pull off one of the catches of the season.
Birt would have been cursing his luck afterwards - it was just a few days ago that he was dismissed by Kane Richardson's amazing diving catch on the boundary at Adelaide Oval.
