Damien Fleming was one of Australia’s best premier pace bowlers and known for his ability as an expert in the art of “swing bowling”. Some experts called him the “spin wizard”. He is one of only three cricketers ever to take a hat-trick on Test debut.

He was not only a great test player, but was also impressive in his one day matches. Damien also represented Australia in World Cup finals twice. He is best known as a one-day specialist.

Since retiring in 2003, Damien was appointed the Head Coach at the Australian Cricket Academy. He has also been a presenter on Melbourne radio station SEN 116. Today Damien is a cricket commentator for ABC radio and FOX Sports during summer.

Ian Healy held the record for the most Test dismissals by a wicket-keeper by the time he retired. He was not only a great wicket-keeper but also a useful right-handed middle-order batsman.

He captained Australia in eight One day International matches but was never named captain due to a series of on-field misdemeanors. He joined the Australian side due to his strong work ethic. Ian became a key player in the under-rating Australian team since his inclusion.

Ian's brilliant career was acknowledged when he was selected as the wicket-keeper in the Australian Cricket Board’s team of the 20th Century. He won the Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1994.

Healy retired from all forms of cricket in 1999.

Rodney was a right arm fast bowler who played for the Australian Cricket Team from 1978 until his retirement in 1985. During this time he played in 38 tests, where he took 123 wickets with an average of 28.47 and scored 439 runs. In his 71 appearances in the One Day Internationals, Rodney took 85 wickets and scored 137 runs.

At the age of 40, and after his retirement form first class cricket, Rodney continued to play for the Warrandyte Cricket Club. He did this for two seasons, and during this time, he took 73 wickets with an average of 13.14 from 24 matches.

Dean’s first class cricket career started in the 1981-82 season with Victoria. His test debut for Australia was against the West Indies in 1984. His best perform was evident in the Tied Test in Chennai (Madras) in 1986 when although he was suffering from dehydration, he managed to score 210 runs.

He was a crucial player in the Australian Test team during the 1989 Ashes tour of England. He wasn’t chosen at the start of the 1992-93 season as he was dropped even though he had topped the averages in the previous test series against Sri Lanka. This decision angered the Australian cricket fans.

One of the most memorable comments from Jones is surely that one he made about India’s Hashim Amla when he said “The Terrorist gets another wicket”. Although the comment was made during a commercial break, that particular coverage was shown without interruption. He has since apologized in regards to this comment.

Colin debuted in his first test match for Australia against Pakistan in the 1985/86 season. He was named the Test Player of the Year in 2001. He was a spirited right arm bowler who could move the ball both ways. Colin is best known for his ability to vary his bowling speed. Colin announced his retirement from first-class cricket in July 2002.

He was nicknamed "Funky" because he changed his hair colour so often. His hair is not the only colourful thing about him. His witty sense of humour and larrikin ways make his talks relaxed and very entertaining.

Colin has many a wild story to tell of the antics within the Australian Cricket Team.

At the age of 19, Doug Walters was the third youngest to score a test century. Since then he has been constantly involved in cricket, as a player in charity matches, as a commentator, and as a coach for young players.

He is still enormously popular as one of Australia’s cricketing legends and is a keen supporter of various charities, as well as being known for his love of practical jokes.

Michael Dighton – dynamic batsman with the Tasmanian Tigers, renowned for his all out attack any opposition bowling attack, he was also named last season’s Tigers one day player of the year.

Known as ”Thommo” he made his debut for Australia in the test match on 29 December 1973 against Pakistan. He soon became known as one of the fastest bowlers ever to play Test cricket. His opening partner was the great Dennis Lillee and they were without a doubt the most deadly combination of their time.

Jeff won a fastest bowling contest in 1978 with a quick time of 147.9 ahead of the great West Indian bowler Michael Holding with 141.3 and Imran Khan of Pakistan with 139.7.

In 1975 he was timed using high-speed cameras at a staggering 160.45. The following year he improved his time to 160.78. Fellow team mate Rodney Marsh claimed that Thomson had bowled upwards of 180km. Clive Llyod the West Indian legend, said that “Thomson was the fastest bowler he’d ever seen”.

He caused controversy when interviewed during the 1974-75 series, when he said “I enjoy hitting a batsman more than getting him out. I like to see blood on the pitch”. The English Team were a little mystified by Thomson in this series, as they had only seen him bowl once during a tour match against Queensland in the same year.

”The Skull” as he is more commonly known was born in Hurstville, New South Wales.

During his career, he played 24 Test Matches and 2 One Day International games for Australia between 1971 and 1977. He was a spin bowler who bowled leg breaks. Kerry was also a good batsman.

Kerry is one of the more popular speakers today, as he is a marvel at telling humorous tales to a variety of audiences throughout Australia.

He currently works as a commentator for ABC Radio and occasionally for the Nine Network. People recognize his commentary from his distinctive laugh. He enjoys his commentary most when working with International Commentators such as India’s Harsha Bhogle, as he confused him with the sometimes complex dialogue of the Australian language.

Others commentators say that Kerry is the hardest to work with as he is both amusing and due to his unique ability to hold his audience captive with his stories or comments.
