Six Test players that retired this year

capable of attacking or drying up the runs. Incredible work ethic and strike-rate

Brad Haddin, 66 Tests - spiritual leader. Vocal in the field and rescued the side many times with the bat

Shane Watson, 59 Tests - capable of creating a collapse with his subtle swing. On his day an incredibly destructive batsman

Chris Rogers, 25 Tests - mentor to plenty in the side on account of his 24,460 first-class runs. Reliable opener that put a high price on his wicket

Michael Clarke, 115 Tests - one of Australia's greatest batsmen in his prime. Posted plenty of captain's centuries until his form dipped

Mitchell Johnson, 73 Tests - once-in-a-generation bowler. Created collapses and took 313 Test wickets.
