3. Jason Gillespie (Australia):
The right-arm pacer was one of the most vital parts of the mighty Australian team which ruled the world cricket in the first half of last decade. In a career which was constantly marred by injuries, Gillespie picked 259 wickets in 71 Tests. Gillespie came closest to pick a 10-wicket haul in a Test match when he picked up 9 for 80 against India in 2004.
