Exactly. Wasn't even brave enough to use WADA-banned drugs to get into a controversy.

Voting breakdown

Mark Waugh (1965-)
8,029 runs in 128 Tests for Australia; 244 ODIs
Elegant strokemaker who rarely made huge scores and was criticised for not making the most of his talent
First player to score consecutive World Cup centuries (against Kenya and India, 1996)
Played in all 16 of Australia's record win streak from 1999 to 2001
Michael Bevan (1970-)
785 runs in 18 Tests for Australia; 232 ODIs
Highest batting average by some distance in ODIs, often stayed in during victories
Scored heavily in first class cricket, making 68 centuries
A very moderate Test record often blamed on a susceptibility to short pitched bowling, he was never recalled after making a total of 90 runs in his last 10 Test innings
Mike Hussey (1975-)
3,912 runs in 50 Tests for Australia; 140 ODIs
Debuted in Test cricket aged 30, with more than 15,000 first class runs under his belt, and spent 166 days making his first 1,000 runs
Has a more moderate record since, but still has a batting average north of 50 in both Tests and ODIs, the only player to do so

Really? Would be interested to know why, easily one of the more likeable characters of the Aussie team I'd say.
