Are we worried about MEKH?

Re: Hussey
I commented last week that I thought his best may well be behind him because he was elevated to test status at a relatively advanced age. You might argue that he was very successful in comparison to some youngsters who come into the game because he was such a seasoned campaigner with such a lot of first class runs behind him. You might equally argue that he had some of his prime as a batsman taken away.
I've had this feeling that recently, and it started in India, he's batted himself into a rut by going too much into his shell and not playing his shots. Perhaps he has to come out and score in a more positive vein. Atm, he looks caught betixt and between.

"Gretel" is in a spot of bother at the moment but he can come back. Unlike Clark (whose name has cropped up alnogside Hussey in a couple of reports letely because they're both late bloomers struggling ATM) it's not a fitness issue.

Re: Hussey
I think the fragility in the top order is throwing him a bit - he's not sure whether to dig in or play his shots when Aust are 2/50 etc like we have been regularly recently.

Re: Hussey
Maybe it's easier batting right down the order.

Hussey just got a cheap wicket. Seasons have turned on smaller things than that.

I am not optimistic about his future.

Re: Hussey
The selectors will now proceed to drop Hussey for the SCG Test and keep Hayden in the side.
The rationale will be 'Michael needs some time in the first-class arena to find his form, we expect him to return to the team in the future, while Matthew has been a proven performer over a long period, and we believe his next innings could well be his next big one.'

Re: Hussey
IMO looking good `til the end of the Ashes now, with Test retirement probably following that series. Hopefully he will finish on his own terms, and on a good note. He does seem at last to be emerging from his 2008-09 slump.

Re: Hussey
I'm all for that, so long as we get some of those leaves where the ball smashes into off stump moments...

Re: Hussey
Meh, I'd tolerate 3 of those for 400 runs in his farewell series ... and a few more good gully grabs
