David Hussey has followed his brother Mike in being dumped from the one day international side, failing to make the cut for the series against the West Indies.
The selectors decided to go with fellow Victorian Aaron Finch, making clear their intentions for the 2015 World Cup.
After making a blistering 60 off just 34 balls in the first match at the MCG, Hussey has made 29, 4, 1 and 34. It seems unlikely he will be recalled to the side for the Windies series and at 35, it may end his 69 match career.
With Hussey not in the T20 side for the Australia day T20s, it seems his limited overs international career may be over.
However, this gives Hussey an opportunity to play out the Shield season for Victoria, get back into form, impress selectors and keep his slim chances of a Test debut alive.
He will need to finish off extremely strongly, with at least a couple of centuries for the selectors to even consider him.
Like his elder brother Mike, David made a late start to his international career in 2008 aged 30. He made his debut in the fourth ODI against the West Indies and immediately made an impression with two 50s in his first two matches, including the second fastest 50 made by an Australian in ODIs.
Then he had a slight dip in form during the 2009/10 season against South Africa and New Zealand. He was dropped for the series against England despite making 111 against Scotland prior.
He was still a regular in the T20 side and, after strong performances for Victoria and the Australian T20 side, he was recalled to the ODI side in 2011 against England.
In 69 matches, he has scored 1796 runs at 33 with one century and 14 50s. For most of career, he has lived in the shadow of his elder brother Mike but, if Hussey doesn’t receive a baggy green cap in India or England, he will be remembered as one of the best Australian cricketers not to have a career in the Test arena.
He will also be remembered as one of the best domestic players in the 50 and 20 over forms of the game.
