Renowned for hitting wickets at bowler's end with his legs while bolwing, Steve Finn last played for England in 2016. Emergence of Chris Woakes, Mark Wood, Jake Ball and inconsistency in his own performance threw him out of the national contention.

During his 7 years(2010-2016) stint with England cricket, he has played 25 matches as a first change pacer out of 36 test match career till date. The 6 feet 7 inches taller still has age with his side to make a comeback. Finn has taken 80 wickets as first change bowler which is 65% of total tally of 125 wickets.

Peter Siddle is one of the unsung heroes of the Australian test cricket team. Known for his long spells and producing reverse swing in the old ball, Siddle was best in business during his peak time. Brett Lee, Ryan Harris, Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc were the front-line bowlers in the team when Siddle was bowling as a first change pacer.

During his 9 years(2008-2016) international carrer, Siddle has taken 82 wickets as third seamer in 50 innings (34 Tests).
