yeah but even 20/20 and odi's and with a record like hes got at first class level, i think hes been unlucky , suppose if he was english he would have more then a handful of test match caps to his name .
Also you say the team they had 6 years ago but they had simon katich at number 6 at one point .

Because him and Ponting did not get on...

I had a good chat with him in Melbourne 2 years ago about it he was quite open and honest.

My favourite player of all modern times was great in the Lancs League and Bolton League

Very good player, out of favour with your national captain and selectors....not a good combo!

When he was first tearing apart the domestic scene back in the day I thought he was pretty arrogant...would openly say in interviews I am the best player in Australia so I should be playing for Australia....but oh well.

Look how long Lehmann had to wait for a game for AUS....think he was the leading run scorer in AUS domestic cricket for 5 years in a row or something before he got a game.
