Mr Cricket pulls the pin, God help our middle order now.

Massively underrated player, always a cool head in a crisis and his record would have been even better if selected earlier in his career, well miss you big time Huss.

TEST RECORD:

Matches: 78

Runs: 6183 runs (12th highest for Australia)

Average: 51.52

Hundreds: 19

Fifties: 29

Wickets: 7 42.71

Test debut: Australia v West Indies at Brisbane, November 3-6, 2005

Reasonable player, but it was probably time to go before he was pushed.

Huss wasn't in any danger of being pushed any time soon Joel, his form has been terrific but he made aselfless decision as he has so many times during his career to do the right thing by the team's long term future.

Probably second best batsman in the family. Fair effort I suppose.

He's that much better than his brother it isn't funny, Joel.

Wouldnt have thought so. Why does he play for Western Australia then

Selfless decision???

Hardly a selfless decision when he is only doing it so he can earn the $$$ in the IPL

joel, did you burn ants with magnifying glasses as a kid? Just asking.....

Why?

no reason.

I stuck to pulling wings off flies.

Joel,his brother couldn't get a game for the mighty WACA's

spot on ted, he had to go to Vic to actually get a game in the first place.

i found watching snails trail over laundry powder quite amusing ... but i've acknowledged my own mental problems ... in youth and ... beyond. ps: you're not aftertiming again LE (he was a gun though and agree one hundred percent about middle order now). I would alos like to retract some statements i made about another michael... i now agree that clarke CAN BAT>

Dropped from the One Day side, as predicted.
I see his brother is in the squad though

Good Lord this summer could get messy.

Played to win and not take the Glory today. Him not winning the winning runs shows what type of Team man he was.
Will be greatly missed.
Hopefully they give him a One Dayer in Perth.

But i do think it was the right way to go out.
We cant keep rebuilding.
Need to get the side right for Ashes now.
Need a Spinner Desperately for India.

Im told Holdings Interview today about West Indian Cricket is not to be missed.
Hopefully i can find it. Be good to see them bounc back.
Jokers like One Man Band Lara and Gale try and run the side.
Lara Best Batter i have seen but not team man. Gale is great to watch but its all about him.

Was a great piece of him on Nine today starting from when he was a Kid and how Border was his Hero.

Great Career Mr Hussey. (Wont say Mr Cricket as he never liked that tag.

What is likely Aus top seven for first Ashes test?

warner, cowan, Hughes, clarke! Watson, dunno?, Wade

Surely you wont play Wade at six like in this test?  What happened to Khawaja? Are you really gonna play Hughes?

I think they will do better in the Ashes than India.
They really struggle against Spin and have no Spinners

India are cr@p and they are gonna keep wheeling out tendulkar it seems, doubt he will qverage more than 20.  Winning in India isnt beyond you.

Tendulkar has been a Star on and off the field, hopefully they do play him and he retires after playing Australia.
Lara was a Better Batter and evn Pointing was at 1 stage but Tendulkar has been a perfect Role Model and made sure Indian Cricket will keep growing. Can always hold his head high.
If we beat India in India Load up for Ashes

I like tendles, everyone does.  But he is finished, was painful watching him bat in Nagpur.

Hughes is a much better player now
