10 best players of all time from Western Austalia

3 Michael Hussey

The man who came to be known as 'Mr Cricket' might have made his Test debut at the age of 30, but Michael Hussey went on to become one of Australia's best batsmen in the modern era and shone in all formats of the game.

In 79 Tests, he scored 19 centuries and 29 half-centuries at an average of 51.52 to become one of the top batsmen in the world. In limited overs cricket, Hussey was responsible for many wins throughout his career.

His ascent as a cricketer, however, started with his Sheffield Shield performances for his home state Western Australia and then for English County side Somerset.

Hussey scored 6741 runs in his career for Western Australia and that is at 6th position in the all-time list for the state. There can be no doubt that he one of Australia's and Western Australia's finest batsmen ever.
