Mike Hussey

[brandon]

To retire from international cricket, after the 3rd Test against Sri Lanka....

Durham MUST now do everything in their power to get him in as overseas for next year!

 

[Andy.SAFC]

Thought he'd stick around until after at least the first Ashes series. Their batting is going to consist of just Clarke at this rate

I did too. It's going to be an Aussie team devoid of characters this summer :-(

Big loss for Australia that. Durham's gain? I hope so.

I'm finding it harder and harder to hate them (although I had nowt against Hussey)

One of the few top class overseas batsmen who don't have any international commitments. Can play all 3 forms too.

Would be fantastic to get him in like, just can't see it though

I'd pay 5 years £ of membership if we could get Hussey next season.

Same. I'm a student, I'd happily spend my free summer watching Durham and eating burgers...

will have IPL commitment with Chenai I assume, that is April and May out of the equation

True m8.

Would think he will just go for the money now and play lots of T20.

THIS IS PROB THE ONLY CHANCE OF GETTING HIM OVER HERE.

 

[The Colonel]

One of the main reasons for him retiring is because he has 4 bairns under the age of 5 (?) and domestically its harder for his wife to cope. On that basis moving everyone lock stock and barrel to England for the summer seems a remote possibility and even more remote that he would leave them and come to Durham for 6 months.

We'll see I guess.

 

[Harry Lime]

I think the Colonel has got it spot on, Hussey is already on record as saying he wanted to spend more time at home with his family after the birth of his forth child.

I'll be very surprised if there's a overseas player signed for next season now, unless Ponting comes for less than 50 grand.

 

[rowley2]

As said already Hussy has said why he wants to call a halt to his commitments. But £££££'s would prevent us from getting him anyway.

Maybe next year when we aren't shelling out for Harmison and Plunket, there might be a spare peg in the dressing room.

Big hole in the middle order.

Will D.Hussey get his place or will it be Khawaja?

Hopefully Khawaja, I haven't seen anything from him that worries me. David Hussey has the potential to score a few runs for them very quickly if he's in the mood.
