Was Stuart Law unlucky to only play one Test for Australia?

[The Oracle]

Stuart Law only played one Test for Australia, back in 1996, when he scored 54 not out in his only innings.
He was one of the finest batsmen of his generation, and is still going strong at the age of 39. Today he scored a magnificent unbeaten 156 for Lancashire against Sussex at Hove?
Should he have played more for Australia? And should England consider picking him to lead the ODI side?

He's one of those guys who performed brilliantly in domestic cricket but didn't quite made an impact in international cricket. He can be considered in the list of the best players to have ever played 1 test match. Even that one test match came in his "luck" just because Steve Waugh was injured. Australia tried him more in their scheme of ODIs where he couldn't do justice with his ability & averaged 27 in 54 games.

And about making into the English team, well he has attained British citizenship but his age is the barrier now. "Unforturate" as you rightly put it.
