Wrong! Try again..
Wrong!
The correct answer is Ben Hilfenhaus.
The 25-year-old from Tasmania, who worked as a labourer for a bricklayer when he first moved to Hobart, had been called into Australia's Test squad on four occasions but did not get a game. Since Hilfenhaus first made it into the Test team in November 2007 he has seen a series of setbacks, notably back stress fractures, that prevented him from being on his first Test tour when Australia visited the West Indies last year.
