I'll happily put my hand up - not that I knew intimately Mike Hussey's problem - in saying that I thought that there would be no chance in him being properly ready for the WC. I won't be able to watch the Shield game, but the recovery program must've been meticulous in letting him be able to get himself right by this time. Either his injury was massively overstated, or he should be given the upmost credit because his rehab is beyond belief, from what was first reported.

Greg Chappell does have some preposterous ideas doesn't he ? I have no idea why we had this dude as coach.

Hussey was dumped from the World Cup squad two weeks ago after the selectors decided they couldn't afford anyone who was not fit to play their opening match against Zimbabwe in Ahmedabad tonight.

That decision was made despite Australian physio Alex Kountouris telling the selectors that Hussey was well ahead of schedule and expected to be available for the second match, against New Zealand, on Friday.


That's pretty extraordinary.

When it was revealed that he'd "ripped the hammy off the bone", I felt similarly to you but that's now been shown up

However, what really pisses me off is that GC has "allegedly" advised him to retire

Seriously, GAGF!!!!!

Did he proffer the same advice to Ponting and Clarke or are those pearls of wisdom only reserved for very good/great players who are actually scoring runs?

My guess is it's the same tap on the shoulder that S Waugh, Martyn, MacGill & Hayden got "retire or we'll drop you" but Hussey wasn't minded to go so has gone public with it.

Waiting for someone from the wc squad to mysteriously get injured now and Hussey to come in as a replacement.

Haha so true.. watch out for Steven Smith.

.... "It's unfortunate he'll not be able to form part of our squad. He is an extremely talented individual but he is also a kid, so he'll surely have many opportunities in the future", added Ponting while at the same time emphasising that, "Hussey coming back is a tremendous morale booster for our squad. He is a proven matchwinner and his experience in the middle order will be invaluable"....

maybe Aus can do what Pak did with Sohail Tanvir..........Junaid Khan seems like a decent replacement.

Not happy at all. Hussey has our best odi batsmen for ages, no matter whats Clarke's stats say. Always plays the exact innings required.

Agree. I have no clue as to what the Australian selectors are thinking. If I didn't know better, I'd say there were mentally ********.
