Hussey lost his calm when he was dropped from Australia's Cricket World Cup team in 2011. One of the top Aussie batsman who was initially selected for the World Cup despite the fact that he had ruptured a hamstring in a one-day, a month before it. It was later that the team management decided to give him time for recovery and he was replaced by Callum Ferguson in the 15-man squad.

The player revealed how shocking the decision was. He later told the media, "I tried to push my case forward. I said I would really push [to be fit] by the second game and definitely right by the third game but it's not a risk the selectors wanted to take. It's a pretty hard pill to swallow, that's for sure."

However, after he made an appearance for Western Australia a week later, he was called back to the team as Doug Bollinger had to go home due to an ankle injury.
