When Australia met Central Districts on their 2000 tour of New Zealand, left-arm opening bowler Lance Hamilton emerged from the match with seven Aussie scalps and the accolades of Steve Waugh. He has been there or there-abouts since, but until his selection in the one-day squad against Australia in February 2005, his form was not recognised at international level, living in the shadow of fellow lefties Geoff Allott , Shayne O'Connor and James Franklin.
