Another one goes. This time again, loss is not limited to a country but to the entire cricket as One of the most consistent batsman of my era has decided to hang his boots.
I don't know whether There will be any replacement of Mike Hussey in world cricket or not. But, I can assure you Getting as successful as Hussey was will be an extremely difficult for this young cricket generation. Hussey was made to prove himself too many times before he arrived the door of International cricket at the age of 30. He played 11 first-class seasons and scored more than 15,000 runs before being selected for his first Test. But, once he came, he never looked back. Just 7 years of career and 12th highest run getter for Australia of all times with a terrific batting average of 51, including 19 centuries tells the whole story. He steadied Australian innings all the time during that period and uncountably many times pulled them out of trouble.
In my opinion, he is even harder to get replaced than Ricky, as he saw the Australian transition from world champs to "can be defeated" type of team. Unlike Ponting, who endured a string of poor performances before calling it quits, Hussey has averaged 79 this summer, including three centuries, which is ample to show that he is leaving this great game by being on top. He was really a mixture of efficiency, excellence, adaptability, modesty, passion, team man and many more.
I will definitely miss him and so will the world. He was a sole representation of baggy green cap. He always did everything what was needed most urgently at that time. He was a sort of person who always wore the Australian cap with utmost pride, everytime he went to field.
And In Hussey words, when he was asked what does he feel about retirement and how he wants the world to remember him. Hussey said: “As someone who loved the game, who was a team man. Someone who was passionate about the game, prepared very well and gave his all for his country.”
He was a great ambassador of this game in all formats. None can forget his cheer ups and smiling face on field.Hats off to legend and May God send some more Husseys for the upliftment of the game. He will always be one of my favorite players of all time! Again, thanks for being a really wonderful player, and a great human being.
