Synopsis
Many talented Australian cricketers have been tantalisingly close to Test selection but did not make the grade because there was always someone slightly better vying for a place or simply because the opportunity did not exist. In another era or even another season the same players might have walked into the team due to an absence of opening batsmen, spin bowlers, fast bowlers or an injury to a player. The author, who has been writing cricket books for 20 years, discusses a selection of Australian players who were close to gaining Test status but missed out. He elaborates on the reasons why and uses a complete table of their first-class career to make the point.
