Subcontinent is the best place to open the innings, says Michael Hussey – Cricket News Update
Chennai Super Kings’ opening batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MEK-Hussey-c1942 believes subcontinent is the best place in the world to play at the opening position.
“The best place for an opening position is in the sub-continent and I am enjoying myself,” said Hussey on Thursday.
Hussey’s comments have come after he played an impressive unbeaten knock of 65 runs against lacklustre Delhi Daredevils, to power the former IPL champions to an 86-run win here at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 on Thursday, April 18, 2013.
“We are assessing the situation and we look to build partnerships,” the Australian veteran said at the post-match presentation ceremony after the comprehensive victory against the Daredevils. “There are so many big hitters in the team and I was surprised
that I got the award for the big hits. Albie and the other guys hit it 20-30 rows back and I just manage to clear the ropes,” he went on to add.
Hussey smashed six muscular boundaries and two lofty sixes during his 97-minute stay at the crease, to power Chennai to a competitive total of 169 for 4. During his an hour and a half stay at the crease, the Australian shared useful half century stands with

Dhoni also lauded the veteran for playing an unbeaten knock. He also said that the Feroz Shah Kotla was a bit slow and did not seem like a 170 wicket.
“Michael Hussey batted well and the small outfield helped us in hitting big shots,” said the Ranchi wicketkeeper batsman after the Super Kings registered their third win of the lucrative T20 leave to move up to the fourth spot on the points table.
“I thought it was not a 170 wicket...We needed to get used to the pace of the wicket as it became slower,” added the visiting skipper.
Currently http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hyderabad-c792 are third with four wins and two
defeats.
Dhoni and Co will next play defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders at the latter’s backyard on Saturday, April 20, 2013.
