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. Currently there are no reviews for this product.
