King Tendulkar Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 There is a long history behind this whole thread which is now ruined thanks to two n00bs' date=' yes you're included.[/quote'] Some just down seem to see the irony in this thread and the tongue in cheek nature.

King Tendulkar Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 p.s Hussey is no LEGEND. Good player but great no chance. If he is a legend what label do we attach to decade long performers like Lara, Waugh and Hayden? Link to comment

King Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hussey is a good player but not great. It will be silly to call him great based on his short career. He has been mad about cricket since young. I remember this from one of the coaches Hussey trained under. While on a A tour AB was talking to the cricketers and casually mentioned batsmen tend to spend over 6 hours batting in a test match but never play that long in a training. Hussey wanted to try this in the training and got in touch with his coach. They headed to an indoor facility and start at about 10 am Using underarms, overarms, bowling machine Hussey batted for about 2 hours and then took a lunch break. Started again after the lunch break and carried on batting against underarms, overarms, bowling machine for yet another couple of hours and called for a tea break. By then the coach was absolutely buggered and extremely tired. While Hussey went out for few minutes he dozed off... After about 1/2 hour or so he woke up and he couldn't see Hussey around. He asked few boys that were training there if they had seen Hussey and they mentioned "Michael has gone out for a run and will be back soon ":cantstop: Such is his passion for the sport and rightly named "Mr.Cricket" You don't have to be a legend to be passionate and Hussey is an extremely intense and a passionate cricketer. He has worked hard to get where he is right now. I think we undermine a lot of players such as Hussey without an ounce of respect for the amount of effort they have put in. He may not be in form but he's not such a bad player. Perhaps he doesn't deserve a place in the Aussie team right now but he's done well enough. Link to comment
