5 Australian players who had a great First Class career but failed to shine in Test cricket

Bracken in action

Bracken was a wily customer with the leather. Though he was one of the most trusted soldiers for Australia in the One-Day format but he failed to replicate the same form in Tests.

The left-arm seamer just featured in five Test matches for the baggy greens where he snared 12 wickets. He had best bowling figures of 4/48 and an average of 42.08.

His First Class career, on the contrary, was an inspiring one where he picked up 215 wickets for New South Wales from just 67 matches.

His best bowling figures include a 7/4 which is quite astonishing in any form of cricket. Also in domestic cricket, he averaged just 26.06 with the ball.
