David Hussey - Where to from here?

I've been agitating for years to give him a go in the middle order for Australia. YEARS. I have been constantly impressed by his first-class performances where he is one of those players just a class above his contemporaries.

Now he's finally getting a go... well, massive disappoinment. He's just looked out of place. He played a good innings the other night in the 4th NZ ODI but aside from that he's looked uncomfortable. I'm watching him in the T20 now and he's just not looking like the class act he is. Voges, IMO a far inferior player, is making him look like an uncertain debutant.

Does he have a real future in the Australian side? Will this future include Test matches? A year ago, I would have said unhesitatingly that if given a chance he'd make himself indispensible, like his brother. Now - not so sure. I can see him bedding down a place in the ODI side if he picks up his act before being dropped, but I've pretty much given up hope of him playing Test cricket.

Never been a fan but I'm happy for him to play limited overs cricket for Australia but he shouldn't get a shot in the test side.
 
Re: David Hussey - Where to from here?

He hasn't shown how good he is, but that 80 odd will keep him in the side I think. Test cricket isn't an option I would think.

He would have been handy in india with his part time spin. So much more handy than White. Yeah he hasn't looked great, doesn't have as good technique as Michael. He's playing as the all rounder that symonds has played as. I can't think of a better all rounder... Maby Brad Hodge.
 
Re: David Hussey - Where to from here?

Yeah, I've been disappointed with him as well.
When he straight drives it looks like he is just popping it up in the air for anyone to catch.
Hopefully he comes through, but with Ferguson making runs, and Clarke to come back in, he will be the one on the outer IMO
 
Re: David Hussey - Where to from here?

had more opportunity than brad hodge and produced less, id say let him go. but while they struggle to find others they will probably persist.
 
Re: David Hussey - Where to from here?

Shown enough to be persisted with another year or 2

Has the ability to play the steadying innings or all out attack, but his no1 weakness when playing for Victoria is quite often he will win us the game but get out before the end, has trouble finishing the job and he has quite a few 50's for Aus but needs to convert them at some stage
