Ilikena Lasarusa Talebulamaineiilikenamainavaleniveivakabulaimainakulalakebalau (aka IL Bula).
Bula had earned a name for his huge sixes. In his prime, he was a treat to watch. On his two tours of New Zealand he impressed the cricketers and the media. In fact, Bula impressed the hosts to such an extent with his amazing six-hitting skills [while batting in asulu, and often barefoot] on the 1947-48 tour that their board contemplated including him in New Zealand’s upcoming tour of England (1949).
Philip Snow, Bula’s first First-Class captain, later wrote in*Cricket Heroes: “Straightening up somewhat from a rather crouching stance, he (Bula) would half pull, half drive the most guileful spinner in one fluent, powerful, majestic motion clear over the stand. No glimmer of satisfaction on his face, no trace of response to the acclamation of the crowd, no comment.”
Bula’s nonchalance was famous. Snow wrote: “He (Bula) would flick some dust off his bare feet or peer at his battered bat. With his great stretches forward, his shin-high*sulu*(white skirt) would float out above the top of his pads: he would tuck it back and prepare to deal wholesomely with the next ball — if possible, over the head and upstretched hands of the extra boundary fielder just put there.”

I presume he's eligible - he did make a Test debut in 1970 but the match, against the Rest of the World, was later downgraded, so he was asked for the cap back (he didn't oblige)
