4. Damien Martyn
When Martyn first made his debut for Australia in 1992, he was looked upon as the next big thing in the Australian cricket. But, it took him some time to get his foot set in the international arena. With the emergence of Adam Gilchrist and Ricky Ponting, the limelight shifted to them from Martyn.
Some people Martyn should have played more, but former batsmen had revealed that he knew his time was up. He was an integral part of Ponting’s side which lifted the 2003 World Cup in South Africa. In fact, he played a superb knock of 88 in the final.
He averaged above 46 in Tests and above 40 in ODIs. He records are too good and his contribution toward Australian cricket was massive through the 2000s. Anytime, the likes of Ponting, Hayden or Gilchrist failed, Martyn was there to back the side. It is unfortunate that Martyn doesn’t get the credit that he actually deserved.
