Touted as one of the best fast bowling prospects in the country as a twenty year old, five years on Shaun Watts has yet to live up to his hype. Despite some wonderful performances in the international arena at times, his test form has seen him in and out of the side. Solid one day international form has gained him much respect from Waqar Younis, who described him as 'the best young one day player in the world.' His NAB Cup One Day form has proven this.

The strong medium pacer has not featured regularly in the team so far, however convincing his form for South Australia has been. An average test debut and some poor one day internationals has put him further back in the selectors minds, but a good start in a tour of England may see him feature in their plans once again.

Now winding up his career, Cameron White will end with a fairly successful career in test matches, and a more than handy one day career. 53 tests and 159 one dayers is the sign of a great career, and despite his lack of batting performance, his handy wrist spin got Australia out of many a situation throught his career. Along with Garry Baldwin, he was Australia's partnership breaking, destroying India with 6-42 on a Mumbai turner. May feature throughout the summer, but probably only in the one day game or at the SCG.

The Eagle has it all. Youth. Good pace. Good swing. A good action. And a great name. Despite a short career so far, the 24 year old West Australian looks certain to feature in the Aussie bowling ranks in the near future. A 4-54 against best in the world, Pakistan proved this to be correct.

Debuting for Australia at just 19, Corey Donald was smashed too all parts by the England batting line up in the NatWest Series. He didn't get another game for a year and a half, before returning in grand style with 3 wickets and then a four for six against the Sri Lankans in two games. Needs to work on consistancy, otherwise will find his spot on the outer once again.

Chris Butt, towering in at 198cm, was picked out of the blue for an Ashes tour where he only played one tour match, and averging 40 with the ball in FC cricket before this. Destined to be a one day player, and picked on just sheer pace alone, Butt will feature heavily in Australia's attempt at the NatWest Series, and also the defence of the Carlton Draught Series Trophy. A wonderful 4-49 in the CD Final against Pakistan (Shane Watson took his first five for) saw Butt come into the twelve for the three tests v. New Zealand. Hasn't played a test yet, but will hope to pull on the baggy green this season.
