Mike Hussey is a Bradmanesque run-gatherer in
English county cricket and a pretty sturdy one back home - a
combination that just might have scuppered his chances of some day
wearing the baggy green. Like Justin Langer and Graeme Wood, his
predecessors as left-handed WA openers, Hussey is scrupulous at
practice and has a tidy, compact style. Skilled off front foot and
back, he is attractive to watch once set. In recent times, alas,
this has mostly been for Northamptonshire, where he has not simply
got set but set about rewriting century-old record-books. Only the
third man after Wally Hammond and Graeme Hick to amass three
Championship triple-hundreds, he averaged 79 in the 2001 winter, 72
in 2002 and 89 in 2003, then 36 in 2004 after moving to
Gloucestershire. All the while, he maintained an equally consistent
but less enviable Pura Cup average - 30 in 2000-01, 35 in 2001-02,
34 in 2002-03, 41 in 2003-04 - and faded from the Test reckoning.
"Hussey was someone I thought would go all the way; now he seems to
have plateaued," Kerry O'Keeffe theorised in 2003-04. "I don't know
if he's a victim of too much cricket or whether he's just a
slow-pitch player, but I no longer hold great hopes for him." Still,
he has reinvented himself as an agile fieldsman and innovative
middle-order bat, cool of head and loose of wrist, in one-day
cricket. Given back his spot among Australia's 25 contracted players
last year, he signed up for his third county in as many years by
agreeing to join Durham for 2005
