The Australians will be without the likes of Michael Hussey during the upcoming ODI series against England, but the skipper Michael Clarke is looking up to David Hussey to fill the void created by his elder brother’s absence.
"Fortunately God gave us a brother to Michael Hussey," said Clarke during a brief media encounter at the Kingsford-Smith Airport, Sydney, before leaving for England on Thursday.
"We're very lucky we've got David. Last summer I think he got to show the country that he cannot just play at the highest level but can be very successful. I'm pretty sure while Mike Hussey is away, Dave Hussey will be there to fill those boots," the Australian
skipper hoped.
Michael Hussey, the 37-year-old aggressive left-handed batsman from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Western-Australia-c865, withdrew from the England tour for family reasons last week, following the premature birth of his fourth child. Hussey was released by the Cricket Australia on his own
request.

http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stewart-Jonathan-Walters-c91389 has so far played 11 One Day Internationals scoring 353 runs at an average of 32.09. The tally also includes a century and three half centuries.
The Australian skipper was also confident that the ongoing pay dispute between the players and Cricket http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 would not affect the team’s performance during the crucial one-day series against England, and hoped a settlement between the concerned parties
would be reached by the end of this month. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 also made it clear that going on strike would be the last thing he and his players would want to do.
