Amongst recent Australian bowlers, Damien Fleming has been most reliable in performance, inspite of being kept away at times due to injuries. With short run-up, his out swingers are formidable. He was the third debutant to claim a hat-trick (Pakistan, Rawalpindi, 1994). He is also a capable down order batsman and outfielder. Due to injury he has not been able to play until recently. Even with the likes of Mcgrath and Brett Lee he has made a mark for himself.
