Interesting question which a person asked me in a bar during the T20 finals:

This batting all-rounder has played 78 ODIs for Australia (no Tests). Despite this, he has not made a 50 or picked up a five-for. (48* and 4/18 being the best). Who are we talking about?

It's not someone obscure. If you've been following cricket in the late 90s/early 2000s, you definitely know this player.
