D. Hussey is no dud. He's not in good form but he is still a very good player.

Gee haven't we made an artform of stuffing up the basics this summer: dropping catches, bowling two sides of the wicket, poor shot selection (not respecting your opponent and pushing shots that aren't there) and tonight turning blind and causing a run out...

basic stuff boys basic stuff....

[hearts on fire]

AUS 4/227.

18 to win

[spell_check]

Yes, well you get decisions in your favour, and some against you.

Lucky for Ferg it was fellow South Aussie Steve Davis at that end!

fergusons lbw that wasn't given evens out from sundays game when he was given out after he hit the ball

Definitely evens now, and probably a pro to the stance that you don't walk and wait for the umpires decision if need be.

[RoosterMarty]

That was brilliant commentary.

who would walk on an lbw appeal ? i'd walk (& did) when i was caught but never ever for an lbw appeal mind you when mal used to bowl to me i wouldn't walk

The South Australian batsman is given not out by the South Australian umpire............. justice for the stinker he got the other night

"if need be" - caught behind, fielder catches the ball but umpire not sure

Righto, so where are Mike Husseys critics now? last 5 games 4 half centuries and a 49. Nothing wrong with that.
Also David Hussey batted well and if continues to make runs will be worth the initial failure.

D. Hussey is no dud. He's not in good form but he is still a very good player.

Looks like i am right again I still think Ferg should be batting ahead of him though.

Good call Shrek!!!

Yeah, certainly no cheating here.

[LBT]

Good win Aussies, its not like we've been getting flogged all season, heaps of close losses. When we get the makeup of the side right we will be ok. Teriffic to see "The Dave" have a good innings after slaying teams in the franger cup for the past five years! Be patient, the imploded poms are'nt too far away.

[NFC]

Great crowd last night (16k+) and great atmosphere I thought.

Was a good night.

[stan]

Mike Husseys return to some form is good. Seems to be enjoying his role coming in as mr fix it at the end. Good to see him making runs again.
