David Hussey in contention for a return against West Indies – Cricket News Update
Following the team’s embarrassing capitulation at the hands of Pakistan, Australian Head Coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760.
Hussey has remained out of contention since the tournament began, with the management preferring http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 at UAE.
Despite his recent omission, the 35-year-old is the most prolific run getter in T20 history, having notched up 4670 runs at an impressive strike rate of 135 for both, club and country. His poor showings at UAE however, where he failed to tackle spin, proved
fatal as the right-hander was axed from the starting XI.

the Men in Green, whose four-pronged spin attack offered little respite to the Aussies and further ended the team’s run of five consecutive T20 wins.
This has again raised doubts over the Kangaroos’ ability to tackle quality spin, with skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/George-Bailey-c1480 himself admitting this fact in a post-match conference.
With Australia all set to tackle West Indies in the second semi-final at Colombo on Friday, Arthur said that the crushing defeat against Pakistan has forced the management to re-think their strategy, who are considering the possibility of recalling their
most experienced T20 player.
"There will be thought given to that," Arthur told reporters in Colombo. "Experience plays a massive part at the back end of a tournament and Dave has a little bit of experience so we'll sit down and give it some real good thought over the next two days
and come up with what is best.
"I just want to re-emphasise, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Michael-Klinger-c76093 is an incredible talent, he arguably won us the last one-dayer in Dubai ... he's got that bit of match-winner in him. Dave's case is around the fact he is really experienced and he's done a fantastic job in Twenty20 cricket
all around the world."
