Hussey loses his No 1 ranking?

Question

Hussey has dropped to 3rd place in the rankings owing to a lean time lately, Sanghakara has jumped to no 1 & Chanderpaul to no 2. Do you think Huss can make it back to no 1?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

No, I think they have worked him out and he is losing confidence.  He may get some runs against some lesser teams and keep is average up, but against some bigger teams he will struggle.

Answer 3

You have Bangladesh next! he will make loads of runs there and regain the top spot!

Answer 4

well hes had a lean trot with the bat, but as i say "form is temporary, class is permanent!" and Hussey is a top class player, he should be back to his best very soon

but on the other hand, i'd sure as h**l be happy to "drop down to 3rd" in the world rankings LOL

Answer 5

Sangakarra is going to be tough to overhaul in the future.

But I see Huss making 300 against Bangladesh

Hussey's best was against SRL in the 2007-08 series in which he scored 299 runs in 2 innings. His second best is against West Indies in the 2005-06 AUS-WIN series in which he scored 361 runs in 3 innings. His 3rd best is against Bangladesh (2005-06 series) in which he scored 242 runs in 3 innings. Against England (2006-07), he scored 458 runs in 5 innings. Against SAF (2005-06), he scored 257 runs in 4 innings. 2007-08 AUS-IND series, he scored 292 runs in 6 innings. The latest WIN-AUS series, he scored 137 runs in 6 innings.

I think that Hussey's best is behind him.

Answer 7

Sure he can... But Sangakarra isn't giving up his position that easy.

Answer 8

it's been tough for him but at least it take a pressure off him now, too much expectations from supporters can be overwhelming, but still not bad really considering...

Answer 9

Yes he can,Hussey has the 20/20 and the ODI's,so that gives him a great chance to re-gain the No1 spot....

Wont take him long and our boy will be back on top,

Answer 10

i think he can but now it won't be so easy becoz chanderpaul ()run machine is doing well and sangakara also.
