Five bowlers who didn't do justice to their talent

4. James Pattinson

Australia often seem to have an unending supply of talented young fast bowlers but after the humiliating 3-1 defeat to England in the 2010-11 home Ashes, there seemed to be a drought of capable bowlers in the country.

But then arrived on the scene two highly talented young pacers - Mitchell Starc and James Pattinson. The former is one of the finest, if not the finest speedster in international cricket today and Pattinson, stricken by injuries, is looking to find his way back into the team.

However,at the start of their careers, it was right-armer who was hogging all the limelight. Possessing the most crucial ingredient to a seamer's success - genuine pace - along with good height, Pattinson showed great ability and talent to pick up a bucket load of wickets in his first season.

Already dubbed as the future leader of Australia's pace attack, Pattinson continued to impress and even picked up a five-for in the Chennai Test against India in 2013 on a pitch tailor-made for spinners.

But then Australia's fast-bowling stocks began to swell again as Mitchell Johnson and Ryan Harris regained their place as Australia's lead strike bowlers and in later, Starc began to upstage Pattinson.

Injuries prevented Pattinson from keeping his place in the side for a prolonged period and affected his consistency. Off lat, he may well have played in the 4th Test of the recent Ashes series if it wasn't for injury but he has a long distance to cover in order to catch up.
