Mike Hussey --- W20 Finals

What an asset he is to the cricketing world cant be written off in this blog, but can be seen over and again in replays of World T20 Finals held at St Lucia, where the boundaries of real cricket disappeared with videp games we played. Pakistani attack which seemed to tear apart each Aussie batsmen was down to shreds in just 2 overs. And if we count precisely , Hussey would read, 3.2 overs - 60 /0 . Match won
With johnson on other strike and 54 reqd off 24, Hussey played an innings which he himself could not have dreamt of. but he did play Aussies right into WC finals.
Where Aussies bowlers were taken apart, and Pakistan had mouth full of revenge of not evening winning a Single game in any format when they visit Aus few months back, they seemed to get everything right. But for Hussey. While David tried to do it, faltered. So did Watson, White and Clarke. But for Michael , who has been pinnacle for Aussies in this WC, often mistaken for Test player for sound technique, demonstrated the class is permanent. Victory in sight and WC in mind.. Dont know what energizes them. Dont know what its like an Australian.
I am Indian, and still cheer up for Delhi more in IPL than India in WC. When will that feeling come in me, when i cheer for India more than i cheer for Sachin Tendulkar. When will I get a chance to continue watching the match even when Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is out. May be we need a few more Hussey in our side, who will not be swept away with money , fame and late night parties over the pride for playing for the country.

Whatever be the case, Hussey , u rock dude !!!
