About
Jean-Paul Duminy was identified very early on as a potential international player, but having made his ODI debut in 2004, it was another three years before he cemented a regular place in the team. Partly that was down to South Africa's strong battling line-up and partly down to his own inconsistency, failing to live up to high expectations.

About
Considering the type of stuff floating around in his gene pool, it would have been surprising if Shaun Pollock had not been an international cricketer - and a very good one at that. Dad Peter led the South African attack through the 1960s; uncle Graeme was one of the finest, if not the finest, left-hander to play the game.

A batsman of breathtaking chutzpah and enterprise, as well as the skills and the temperament required to back up his creative intent.

All AB de Villiers needs to show off his abundant gifts is a ball. Just about any ball.

About
The journey took a little longer than expected, but Ben Hilfenhaus picked up a baggy green in 2008-09 to re-confirm his status as one of Australia's bowling stars. While back and knee injuries have worn him down at times, he pushed through the problems to join Mitchell Johnson and Peter Siddle in a bowling attack that could become frightening if the trio stays together.

Personal Information

T20 Debut : ---

About
An eye-catching fast bowler, Ryan Harris seemed destined for journeyman status until he made his international debut in 2009 at the age of 29. By the end of the following year he had become one of Australia's most prized Test and ODI bowlers, but his worst enemy was his own body. A chronic knee injury will be with him until he retires, and in the third Ashes Test at the MCG, he broke a bone in his left ankle that required surgery and ruled him out for half a year.

About
Fair-haired and level-headed, Cameron White has long seemed destined to play a significant role for Australia. At the start of his career it was hard to know whether he would develop into a nagging legspinner, aggressive middle-order bat, intuitive skipper, or a bit of all three.

About
Brad Haddin displayed impressive courage during his opening Test series in the West Indies when he played through the pain of a broken finger, and by the end of his first year was one of the national team's most important assets. At that time he was indispensable, shuffling around the one-day order, proving himself as a productive Test run-maker and slowly improving on his glovework.

Personal Information
Name : Phillip Hughes
Full Name : Phillip Joel Hughes
Nick Name : Hughesy
Parents : Greg and Virginia
Date Of Birth : 30 November 1988
Place Of Birth : Macksville, New South Wales, Australia
height : 170cm[1]

Cricket Life
Team : Australia

Batting Style : Left-handed
Bowling Style : Right-arm off break
Test Debut : 26 February 2009 v South Africa
One Day Debut : 11 January 2013 v Sri Lanka
T20 Debut : ---

About
If a textbook technique was the sole criterion for a first-class opener then Phillip Hughes would be out of a job. But then, the same could have been said of the shuffling Simon Katich. The most important thing as far as Australia's selectors are concerned is that Hughes picks up plenty of runs from his country-baked technique, which includes compulsive slicing through point and slashing to cover, as well as stepping away to provide room for tennis-style drives down the ground.

About

Personal Information
Name : Mitchell Johnson
Full Name : Mitchell Guy Johnson
Nick Name : Notch, Midge, Chomps
Parents : ---
Date Of Birth : 2 November 1981

Bowling Style : Left-arm fast
Test Debut : 8 November 2007 v Sri Lanka
One Day Debut : 10 December 2005 v New Zealand
T20 Debut : ---

About
Mitchell Johnson remains a once in a generation bowler more than a decade after he was first spotted by Dennis Lillee as a 17-year-old. No other fast man has been able to copy his successful left-arm method that mixes bouts of waywardness with spot-on strike-power. Off the field he is so shy that it is hard to believe he has taken on the role as Australia's chief marksman, a weapon capable of hitting batsmen and 155kph.

T20 Debut : ---

About
As a young man Michael Clarke could do anything with the bat, but he has matured into one of the game's most professional, reliable and focussed players, and has been entrusted with the task of leading the Test team out of a trough.

One Day Debut : 25 October 1996 v South Africa
T20 Debut : ---

About
Going in first or seventh, wearing whites or coloureds, Adam Gilchrist was the symbolic heart of Australia's steamrolling agenda and the most exhilarating cricketer of the modern age. He was simultaneously a cheerful throwback to more innocent times, a flap-eared country boy who walked when given not out in a World Cup semi-final, and swatted his second ball for six while sitting on a Test pair.

Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia

One Day Debut : 9 January 2000 v Pakista
T20 Debut : 17 February 2005 v New Zealand

About
Brett Lee excelled as an exponent of extreme speed over a decade without achieving the all-conquering success required to earn the tag of a true Test great. Fast and with a flashy smile that added to his star quality, he finished as Australia's fourth-most successful bowler with 310 wickets in 76 matches.

Personal Information
Name : Ricky Ponting
Full Name : Ricky Thomas Ponting
Nick Name : Punter
Parents : Graeme and Lorraine Ponting
Date Of Birth : 19 December 1974
Place Of Birth : Launceston, Tasmania, Australia
height : 1.78 m (5 ft 10 in)

Cricket Life
Team : Australia
Main Role : Batsman
Batting Style : Right-hand bat
Bowling Style : Right arm medium
Test Debut : 8 December 1995 v Sri Lanka
One Day Debut : 15 February 1995 v South Africa
T20 Debut : ---

About
Ricky Ponting, the most uncompromising player of his generation, grew into Australia's most successful run-maker and only sits below Bradman in the country's overall ratings. It takes an extremely critical eye to diminish his run-scoring achievements, which seem to collect new records in every series. Like spotting a celebrity, it's necessary to look twice when analysing Ponting, first as the archetypal modern batsman, then as the country's 42nd Test captain.

About
A solidly-built, aggressive batsman from the country town of Colac in south-west Victoria, Aaron Finch wrote himself a place in the history books when he made a Twenty20 world-record 156 against England in 2013, an innings which also included a record 14 sixes. His international career has been a stop-start affair - the two years since his T20 debut in 2011 had brought just seven caps before the England tour - but his phenomenal display of striking followed strong Twenty20 performances in the Big Bash League.
