Mike Hussey

[GIMH]

But its always a couple of comments every time he starts a thread - which gets to be unedifying after a while. And I think he's improved a great deal in the 6 months he's been here in terms of knowing what's spam and what isn't etc.

Yeah, you can tell comments have an impact on him by his "sorry for spamming the forum" comment upon making a perfectly legitimate post

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, it's gotten less and less with people realising his age though. I think most of the comments come from people who don't realise he's 10. It certainly was bad a while back, but it's seemed to have settled down, especially with Neil taking up the case.

Agree with that on the most part to be fair

I dobn't think there is anyone who can justify criticising a 10 year old who posts on forums. He only spammed because he knew no better, rather than having any sort of malicious intentions (not sure how spamming can be malicious actually, but that's beside the point), give me andmark or Rodgie any day.

Give me PhoenixFire or GeraintIsMyHero over Rodgie anyday, TBH.

Mark's a scouser and he can do what he bloody wants.

Go 'Pool!

The only dire part of this thread was andmark asking whether he deserved a place in the team (or words to that affect), the question about why he isn't making runs is a perfectly valid one.

"And the only time when he actually gets a wicket it's a simple run out or a catch".

?

As in, Hussey only gets wickets by catching people or running them out, he doesn't bowl.

Athlai, thanks for elaborating that mate, i would have never figured it out what andmark was trying to say there.

My opinion on Hussey remains the same as always - he's a bloody good player, but people have gone way overboard about him. Nowhere near good enough to maintain an average of >60 in either form like some were claiming he would.

I think he might in Test's....
But I agree in Odi's

Directed at Rich's error, not you...

Eh? What error? That post was exactly as I intended it...

 

[Matt79]

Oh ****. Completely misread it. Sorry GIMH - I thought he was bracketing you with Rodgie, rather than PF.

 

[Matt79]

See my edit ^

 

[Matt79]

I'll just back out slowly now pretending like nothing's gone wrong in here...

Aha...

With somebody like Hussey batting as low as #7 it gives the Aussie top-order the luxury to bat freely and aggressively knowing that even if they fail to deliver, Hussey can still re-construct and control the innings.

So in that sense Hussey is a very important player for Australia in ODI's and in test matches too he has proven his worth time and again in all the test matches he has played.
