Jamie Cox appears to be the most obvious one to me.

Perhaps Trevor Barsby could have been unlucky, he often scored runs against us (although thats probably because of our lack of opposition :) ).

Paul Nobes, and maybe Glenn Bishop are the 2 South Aussies I can think of who may have played Test Cricket in a different era - (eg circa 1978).

Only played 1 test but Chris Rogers is an absolute run machine.
Has a reputation for being a flog though and shot of his gob too much ala Brad Hodge who is another that should of played more test cricket.

Hard call in this day and age. Maybe Barsby or someone similar.

A bit of a hypothetical, but Craig Bradley. Scored 98 no. at Lords as captain I think, of the Aussie U19's cricket side. Just missed winning the Magarey Medal that year as a consequence of doing the tour instead of playing out the footy season with Port. Obviously chose footy as a career ahead of cricket, but perhaps would've been a valuable batsmen at a time when we had very few.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail

A lot of unlucky players in the mid-late 90's early 2000's. Amazing batting depth. Siddons and Cox stand out as players extremely unlucky not to get a baggy green, but others such as Law, Lehmann and Bevan should have played way more Test cricket than they did.

Lehmann should have played more, him being 12th man at an early age, I don't think helped his cause long term.

I think Bevan was found out a little bit in Test Cricket.
