Michael Hussey: Shades of Bradman

Hussey made a delayed international debut at the age of 30, but performances in his first 2 years in test matches both made up for that delay and left people conjecturing about what more could he have achieved was he given a chance earlier.

From 17 Nov 2005 (his 2nd test) to 16 Nov 2007, Hussey achieved a batting average of 93.30 in 17 matches, scoring 7 centuries in 27 innings. Since then maintaining such a rein of form was too much of a task for Hussey, who subsequently started to fail a little more frequently and ended his career at a relatively modest average of 51.52.
