The new Shane Warne.
It is a moniker that has been thrust upon many a young leg-spinner in the world of cricket who has shown any modicum of promise.
So when Lloyd Pope bamboozled England's batsmen to take 8-35 and send Australia through to the semi-finals of the Under-19 World Cup, there was only one name his was going to be paired with.
It was a truly remarkable performance, the best figures in any Under-19 World Cup, big-turning leg breaks combined with superbly disguised googlies and devilish sliders.
Standing at over six feet tall with a wild mane of ginger hair, Pope is already an extremely distinctive figure and yet it was the way he worked through his variations, at times showing the mastery of a veteran, which really made him stand out.
Of course, this is still just an 18-year-old leg-spinner and so there was the occasional drag-down, a rank long-hop to remind everyone that the South Australia prospect remains just that, a prospect.
However, Sky Sports pundit Rob Key believes he has the raw abilities to progress and make a real impression in the senior game.
"What I liked about him was that he gave the ball an absolute rip," he said. "He bowled a lot of googlies and top-spinners but whatever he did, he tried to spin it as hard as he could and if you've got the ability to spin a ball and get revolutions on the ball, that is a gift that not that many people have.
"You can always learn control, learn all the other stuff that you need but the ability to rip the ball as a leg-spinner, really turn it and get revolutions on the ball is just a gift. We could see a lot more of him - unfortunately, from an England point of view.
"He has a pace that you can see working in professional cricket. When you watch leg-spinners in junior cricket, even up to Under-19s, they're generally pretty slow.
"There are a lot of leg-spinners who have played Under-19 cricket but have never made it at professional level because of the pace that they bowl.
"Whereas, Pope actually gets enough revolutions on the ball that allows him to bowl at a pace that is deceptive enough to make batsmen struggle to pick length - it is something you don't particularly see from leg-spinners in age-group cricket.
"They often need to move into the professional game before they get a bit more pace but Pope has got that already."
In the frantic scramble of the cricketing media to find out as much about this new Australian star as quickly as possible, it has emerged that Pope started as a seamer before his father suggested he may be better off switching to spin and the decision has certainly paid off.
Pope's upbringing began in Cairns before the family moved to Adelaide and Queensland's loss has most certainly been South Australia's gain with the leggie taking 54 wickets at 16.10 in 23 age-group matches across three tournaments - one at Under-17 level and two at Under-19 - over the past two Australian summers.
"I love talking tactics with people who have had that experience. It's still surreal now. I still can't believe it," he said after the win over England.
"I've always had high expectations for myself, I try to take wickets and focus on those areas of my game, but I've definitely still got work to do on my fielding, and my batting as well has got to improve."
His performance against England has been likened to Warne's game-changing spell in the 1999 World Cup semi-final but Pope brushed off comparisons with the Australian great, although his mention of the tactical side of the game tallies with Warne's ability to outthink and outmanoeuvre even the world's top batsmen.
"(I met him) just once," Pope said. "I've seen him at Adelaide Oval and had a chat and it was really good to meet him.
"He's had a huge influence on cricket and certainly my bowling as well. But I tend not compare myself to him. He's been there and done that so that's a learning tool for me, watching him bowling.
"But comparisons ... I don't really think about them too much."
Pope may be wisely choosing to ignore them but do comparisons with Warne, stylistically at least, hold up?
"I think he is a different type of leg-spinner to Warney," Key said. "He was someone who could really fling it outside your leg stump with a low arm, in a way, and would just spin the ball so far and had the best cricket brain anyone has ever had.
"I think this lad is going to be slightly different, he bowls a lot of googlies and I certainly think we'll see him in white-ball cricket. The big test will be how consistently he can bowl with the red ball in the longer format.
"I don't think it'll be long at all before we see [Pope] playing in T20s, in particular, because when you've got all the variations he has, that is what everyone is looking for, that X-factor bowler in white-ball cricket and he is that now."
Matching Warne is a near-impossible task but Pope has certainly given Australia hope - and left the rest of the world worrying - that they may have been blessed with another leg-spinning sensation.
