http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MEK-Hussey-c1942 backs Australian skipper – Cricket News Update
Australian middle-order batsman, Michael Hussey has backed his skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 by stating that the team is moving forward under his reign.
The skipper came under scrutiny after opener; http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SM-Katich-c2543 earlier claimed that Clarke had a huge role in ending his Test career. Both players had a major altercation back in 2009, which created bad blood between the two ever since.
After a few high-profile disappointments suffered by the Kangaroos, Katich was on the receiving end of losing his central contract, even though the left-hander was among a few with consistent performances.
This also led to the removal of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RT-Ponting-c2377 as the skipper and Michael Clarke being slated to take up the role. Katich recently took a swipe at the new leader, claiming that he sees his international career effectively over as long as Clarke is in charge
of the Kangaroo side.
However, the skipper cleared the air by saying that he had nothing to with Katich’s axing, and his words have now been echoed by Hussey, who feels that the team is motivated to succeed at any price.
"If you want to be part of this Australian team, you've got to go with the captain and we respect the way he wants to take the team," Hussey said. "Even someone like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ricardo-Gouveia-c84824 who has been captain, he's jumping on board as well and it just shows that the guys
really do want to play for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, we do want to play under Michael and I think we're definitely going in the right direction."
The team has performed impeccably under http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, mainly thanks to the cool-mindedness of Hussey, who remained unbeaten with 46, helping them to chase 223.
Previously under Clarke’s leadership, the team won a difficult tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, claiming resounding victories in both formats of the game (One Dayers and Tests).
Now the next task for the tourists will be to gear up for the Test series against South Africa, and Hussey feels that the team can beat their opponents if they follow the philosophy of their inform skipper.
