#-2 Brad Haddin
Remaining in the shadow of Adam Gilchrist for a major part of his career Brad Haddin finally made his Test debut for Australia against West Indies in the year 2008. He was already a proven customer in the domestic circuit and was the automatic choice in the XI after the retirement of Gilchrist.
The void left by Adam Gilchrist was very difficult to fill but he proved to be a good replacement but it was not possible for him to match the destructive batting by the former. He was an excellent wicket keeper and took many acrobatic catches during his 7 years career. Though he made his ODI debut way back in 2001, he became a regular only after the retirement of Gilchrist. He was purchased by the Chennai Super Kings in the 2010 IPL auction.
In a tri-series match against West Indies at Kuala Lumpur, he notched up a 165 run partnership with Mike Hussey which was then the highest partnership for the 6th wicket in ODIs.
Before calling it quits, he had a tally of 270 dismissals from 66 Test including 262 catches and 8 stumpings and 181 dismissals from 126 ODIs including 170 catches and 11 stumpings.
