Australian career
Hussey's cricketing prowess was perhaps first widely acknowledged after an innings for the Victoria Bushrangers in 2003-04, his first full season of first-class cricket. Hussey scored an unbeaten 212 as his side scored a record 7-455 in the 4th innings to beat New South Wales in Newcastle.[1] He finished the Australian season with an aggregate 857 runs at an average of 61. In 2004-5 his four day form let him down and he was dropped from the Victorian Pura Cup side. Hussey unsuccessfully asked Cricket Victoria for a release to return to Western Australia. [1] Another modest Pura Cup season for Victoria in 2005-06 saw him make 500 runs at an average of just over 30. It was again in the one day arena where he impressed as he smashed 535 runs at 76.42. This tally included 130 against Queensland and he won the state's limited-overs player-of-the-year award.In 2006-07 he repeated his Newcastle heroics with another match winning unbeaten century to beat NSW in the 4th innings. Captaining the side in the absence of Cameron White and Brad Hodge, Hussey finished with 125 as his side made 362 for 7 chasing 360 for victory. The winning runs came from his bat with a 6 off Stuart MacGill. It took his first thousand-run season in 2007-08 - he made 1008 in the Pura Cup at 56 - before he was finally chosen for a tour, the ODI series in the West Indies in 2008, and earned his first Cricket Australia contract. In February 2008 Hussey made the 2nd fastest Australian domestic one-day hundred, off 60 balls. Hussey played as a Twenty20 allrounder, bowling in all Victoria's matches with success (a wicket in all but one game and leaving him with 10 for the tournament). In 2007-8 Hussey was named Victoria's Player of the Year in all three domestic cricket formats.[1]
English Cricket
Hussey started his English cricker career at Horsham Cricket Club in Sussex. Since 2004 Hussey has played for county side Nottinghamshire. In the English summer of 2004 Hussey score 1208 runs for Nottinghamshire. In 2005 he had another prolific season, scoring 1231 runs. He hit two centuries and one double century, 232* against Warwickshire as his county went on to win the championship. In the subsequent county season Hussey scored a career best 275, off just 227 balls and with 14 sixes.[2] His record for the year was an exceptional 1219 runs at 93.76.[1] Hussey signed for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club for the 2008 and 2009 seasons, but due to commitments to the Australian national team withdrew from the end of the 2008 season.[3]
