"Australia’s workhorse, Hilfenhaus is the steadying influence in their attack, a reliable swing and seam bowler who will be expected both to exploit any available swing in the first ten overs and then keep it steady with the older ball."

The Tasmanian Quickie can swing both the old and the new ball and might be the key man for the Aussie pace attavk this winter.
