A typical Test opener, Chris Rogers didn’t have a flashy, aggressive or eye-catching game, but it was his patience, grit and determination which made him stand out. Making his Test debut at the age of 30 against India in January 2008 it looked like he would end his career with a solitary Test to his name. But the selectors recalled him for the 2013 Ashes in England.

That series kick-started his career. A very good series in England in that 2013 Ashes (where he scored 367 runs) helped him cement his spot. He continued his good form playing a vital role in helping Australia regain the Ashes in the 2013-14 season as he scored 463 runs with 2 hundreds and 3 fifties in five Tests.

At the end of the 2015 Ashes in England, he announced his retirement. He played only 25 Tests, but 15 of those came in the Ashes. And he has scored 1310 runs at an impressive average of 48.52. Also, 4 of his 5 Test centuries have come against England.
