Glenn McGrath has the same percentage of not-outs as Hussey over his career. I expect there may be some other bowlers who have similar percentages.marc71178 said:Is there anyone else with a higher percentage of not outs who've played 38 ODIs or more?
Well you can hardly expect him to make 81 and get dismissed in every game when he bats at 6 and 7.marc71178 said:Is there anyone else with a higher percentage of not outs who've played 38 ODIs or more?
Yep I think he has a strike rate in the high nineties. Its a shame he only gets to come in with around ten overs to spare or else he could have had a couple of ODI centuries by now.sideshowtim said:Yes, it is difficult to criticise Hussey because he always goes down swinging. It is unfair to declare him as playing for his average as he takes more risks than the average batsman and is a marvellous batsman in the last 10 overs. He's really been a breath of fresh air into both of our teams. I love the Huss.
Yeah, he smashed Strauss' record by a long, long distance. It'll be hard to ever catch Husseys new one.pasag said:Exactley, all my friends were saying that when we watched 'that' game. He only cares about the team and the win, as opposed to Katich who by trying to prop up his score and average sometimes puts Aust in big trouble and puts unnecessary pressure on Ponting and Martyn to make up for his rate.
I have now seen nearly every innings that Hussey has played for Australia and he always continues to fascinate me. I hope he continues playing for another 10 years, I dont see any reason why he shouldnt.
What amazes me is that in all the melbourne newspapers, there is not a word mentioned about his 182 from almost as many runs. Not a word. It was all overshadowed by Dizzy. Hussey doesnt get enough credit for his amazing feats of the past year. Oh and I just read somewhere that he just become the fastest ever first 1000 run scorer in test cricket, ahnnialiting the previous guy.
I doubt he will be able to play for another 10 years. Maybe 7 or 8 topspasag said:Exactley, all my friends were saying that when we watched 'that' game.

It is true that he hasn't been tested against quality spin in subcontinental conditions yet, but apart from that, he seems to have the answers for all types of bowlers in other conditions. Scary thought. This guy might single handedly help Ponting keep Australia at #1 even when Warney and McGrath retire.
