Professional cricketers seldom get the chance to play international cricket and make it their own until they reach the age of 30.
Mr. Cricket, Michael Hussey’s story is one of the most inspiring for aspiring cricketers throughout the world.
Hussey was a key component of the Australian team, playing a variety of positions in all three formats.
Huss was a dependable batter for the Baggy Greens in red-ball cricket, and he proved to be a capable finisher in white-ball cricket.
Let’s take a look at Michael Hussey’s finest knock in all forms of the game:
5. 109* vs West Indies 2005
Hussey, who was still finding his feet in international cricket, demonstrated his worth during the DLF Cup tri-series between India, Australia, and the West Indies. Hussey and Brad Haddin led Australia to a difficult total of 272.
4. 116* vs Kings XI Punjab
Many people remember Brendon McCullum’s 158-run innings in the Indian Premier League’s inaugural match (IPL).
3. 137 vs West Indies in November 2005
Hussey was removed cheaply in both innings of his first match against the West Indies in 2005. Hussey had his work cut out for him in his second Test, with injured Justin Langer poised to return in the third.
Hussey scored a career-best 137 in his third international appearance, batting out of his normal middle-order position.
2. 195 vs England, November 2010
Following England’s humiliation in the 2010 Ashes series, many pointed fingers at Hussey’s status in the team, calling for him to resign from the sport’s longest format.
Furthermore, Hussey responded to his critiques with 195*, extending his Test career by two years.
1. 60* of 24 vs Pakistan in 2010.
Hussey joined Cameron White with the score at 105-5 and a mountain of runs needed in very few balls in the 2010 T20 World Cup semi-finals in St. Lucia.
