Damien Fleming
Martin Saggers
Vinod Kambili

 

[Craig]

Robertson

Is that the Robertson from Brett Lee's band Six & Out?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

The players who missed out coz of the 2 wars..

George Headley would be there.

 

[marc71178]

a whole list of Aussies who would have played more test/odi cricket overseas, could have done very well

Oh, they would, would they?

We've had this before, and of course they could've done well, but they could've not been picked or not performed.

Just because they're Australian, DOESN'T mean they are automatically better than others.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Hedley Verity

 

[Armadillo]

[Craig]

Craig Spearman - what an underachiever. Been execellent for Gloucestershire.

 

[Neil Pickup]

I would say he's more not up to International standards than unlucky.

 

[Sudeep]

I have included Rathore and Spearman purely on the basis that I liked them.

Rathore was a heavy domestic scorer. But the selectors never stuck with him. If he would have been given more time in international cricket, India's opening worries would have ended long back.

Spearman has looked good often. But yes, he has looked ordinary at times too. Still I liked to see him bat, and feel that he should have been given more opprtunities.
