By the time an opportunity came to play in the World Cup four years later the fickle fate of fitness had intervened.

Gillespie finally gets his chance to make a belated impact in South Africa - a happy hunting ground for the bowler.

During Australia's last visit there in 2002, he finished as the top wicket-taker with 12 victims in a seven-match series.

Fast and accurate, with first-class control, he will be keen to make amends for missing out on a World Cup twice before.
