that'll be the big Test. And Hussey isnt some ATG either

 

At best Rohit can end up our 3rd best opener after Gavaskar and Sehwag

I fully agree with the bolded part that it will be indeed his big test if he can continue for some time.

Yes, even then he should feel very thankful to be 3rd best behind Sunny and Sehwag.


But, I certainly think Hussey is an ATG. A late entrant but while he was there he was as efffective a batsman expected of his batting position as  expected for as long as he played.

even being a late entrant,he played 79 Tests. The reason I say he isn't ATG is because he struggled vs swing in Eng,SA,NZ. Overall his away average is 42

 

Yes you can say the likes of Kohli also average in 40s away,but Hussey played in an era of batting friendly pitches.

Enjoy for another 1-2 years ,after that I think his decline would be steep just like sehwag
