#3 Brad Hodge
Another unlucky cricketer to have played cricket in the early 2000s is Brad Hodge. His story is nothing short of a heartbreak.
Brad Hodge remained a consistent high scorer in first-class cricket and continued knocking the doors of selectors with his performances.
However, with all the talent and consistency he possessed, the right-handed batsman played only six test matches for Australia.
The Victorian has a rare distinction of having an average of 55.89 in Test cricket to go with a double-century against South Africa. However, he only played six test matches for the national team.
