8 famous brother duos who represented their nation in T20I cricket

#3 David Hussey and Mike Hussey

The Hussey brothers were fantastic limited-overs batsmen. Michael Hussey, nicknamed Mr.Cricket, was regarded as one of the best finishers in the world. He was a member of that formidable Australian batting line-up that comprised of the likes of Adam Gilchrist, Matthew Hayden, Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke and Andrew Symonds. Michael Hussey, at one point, had a staggering average in excess of 50 in both tests and ODIs.

David, the younger Hussey brother, was regarded as a limited-overs specialist. He played 69 ODIs and 39 T20Is, but was never able to cement his place in a strong Australian side. He was in and out of the team and despite his attacking talents, the consistency that his elder brother possessed seemed to desert him.

Australia have underperformed in the T20 format of the game and are yet to win the trophy even once and have quite staggeringly, made the final only once in six attempts. The closest they got was when they reached the finals against England in 2010. The Hussey brothers were involved in a remarkable run-chase in the semifinal against Pakistan then.

Mike Hussey smashed a stunning 60 off 24 balls and tore into Saeed Ajmal, the man who was regarded as the best off-spinner in the world at that time. A below-par batting display in the final left England with an easy target to chase down, but it was the other Hussey, David, who showed fight with a hard-earned 59 that took the Australians to a defendable score.
