3) Ben Hilfenhaus

The right arm fast bowler from Tasmania was a vital cog in Australia”s pace battery. “Hilfy” as he was called believed in bowling stump to stump and swing it just enough to beat the batsman. When a crop of much more talented Pacers Starc, Hazlewood, Pattinson, Cummins emerged, Hilfy lost his place on the side. In the last 2 years of his career, Hilfenhaus picked 47 wickets in 11 tests, which certainly make a good reading. His career ended not because he was bad, but because others were better. He was left stranded on 99 wickets in 27 tests and last played in December 2012.
