4. Brad Hodge, Australia
He was one of the reasons for me to make this list a reality! One of the most unluckiest man in the cricketing globe, Brad Hodge is justified in asking everyone who was responsible in selecting the team for Australia in the last decade- Tell me, What more could I have done? He was un-famously dropped after 5 tests, and only 3 tests after he turned his maiden century into a double, a technical flaw the reason cited by the selectors, plus poor domestic form. It was laughable since the selectors turned to Damien Martyn, who had a poorer average that season. He was dropped from the playing 11 in World cup 2007, after scoring a hundred in the last game the team played. One of the first specialists of T20, Brad Hodge also became the first player to score a century in the Australian domestic competition. He even had his share of fun in the IPL, with teams not preferring to buy him until Rajasthan Royals realised the true potential of the man. Brad Hodge is at number 4 on our list.
