Michael Hussey all praise for Glenn Maxwell and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 spinners – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 but admitted that the hosts have the services of some of the
world’s best spinners.
The Kangaroos defeated Pakistan by three wickets in the final ODI at Sharjah to clinch the series 2-1. Hussey was named as the Player of the Match for his superb half-century, which helped the visitors outclass the Green Shirts.
It has been almost 10 years since Pakistan last defeated http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in an ODI series. The recently concluded competition was a great chance for the Green Shirts to settle the scores with the Baggy Greens; however, they failed to live
up to the expectations.
Heat was a crucial factor in the series and Hussey confessed that the conditions were extremely testing. The 37-year-old cricketer believes that the series triumph is going to boost the side’s morale as the victory came under tough
circumstances. He also praised the quality of Pakistani spinners and said that the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898 are among the best slow bowlers in modern-day sport.
The left-hander was all praise for teammate http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Maxwell-c60189, who remained unbeaten on 56 runs off merely 38 balls, with the help of four boundaries and three massive hits out of the park.
"It was not as bad as the last game in Abu Dhabi but it was still quite oppressive. Fantastic innings from Maxwell. To hit the ball like that on a pitch where the ball was dying was something," said Hussey. "They have some great spinners.
It is a very satisfying victory. It is up there among the toughest places to play cricket. No point complaining. It is the same for both teams."
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Aaron-Starc-c76392, who was named as the Player of the Series for picking up nine wickets in three matches, was also jubilant to have done well in tough conditions.
"It has been warm, sweaty and the dew factor as well. We wanted to come out and perform rather than just keep talking. Overall it has been a good tour," Starc expressed.
