Great article. I’ve been pining for Hussey to be included in the test team for a while now, although it is abundantly clear that (for whatever reason), It won’t happen. IMO he definitely is one of the unluckiest players, but also one of the most underrated, in comparison to the Marsh brothers (particularly Mitchell) who have got to be the most overrated players going around, but I digress. I’ve often found it funny how people wax lyrical over younger players like Hughes, Khawaja and the aforementioned Marsh’s, when you have Hussey, who a short while ago was averaging mid-50’s. I think last season’s poor performance could perhaps be partly attributed to the fact that it’s hard to keep giving your all when you’re continually ignored by the selector’s in favour of lesser, middle of the road players. In hindsight, I think David would have been a perfect replacement for his brother in the middle order, picking up where Mike left off in providing a solid partnership to Pup (the 2011/12 India home series springs to mind).

Is Dave Hussey the unluckiest player of the modern era?
