As it seems inevitable Dave will get a chance some time soon with his fantastic performances when do you expect him to get a gig and in what form? Will the Hussey's be as successful as the Waugh's?

You forgot the option of "NEVER"
They will never play together for Australia in any form. Mike is 33 this year and will have 3 years left at the top at best and David is 30 and not even on the aussie selectors radar so they have no hope of even matching half the Waugh's record!

He is clearly in the selectors mind. He played in the Aus A tour of Pakistan and was the 2nd best performed player behind Jaques averaging 100 with an aggregate run total of 300.

It could happen, you're right. Dave would need to pile a fair few more runs on first though, look how long it took Hodge to crack the side, and then look where that got him.
The only batting spot available at the moment is an opening spot, and Dave won't take that. The next spot I could see becoming available is Hayden's or Gilly's, and I can't see Dave getting either of those either.

He could take Symond's test possie in my opinion. However i have a feeling they will persist with Symonds and reward his brilliant one day series in India.

The chance of them playing together is definitely a possibility, but it may very well be "never".
Hayden will need to be replaced in the ODI side eventually, and with Haddin the likely successor to Gilchrist, it opens up a spot for a D. Hussey, Voges etc with Brad Hodge already proving he is less than capable.

Voges is ahead of Dussey.
The selectors have showed us this for some time now.
- He was called up for the Ashes but just missed out.
- He went to NZ for CH series & made his debut.
- He was made captain of Australia-A.
- He was called up for cover in the recent ODI series in India.
Hussey is way way way behind Voges.

One poor domestic season, or even half a one could change that pretty quickly.
It's like how Rogers is completely off the radar. A run of low scores and a badly timed injury could change the whole situation.
I agree Voges is ahead now, but form is fleeting.

Adam 'Hasnt made a one day century since debut' Voges certainly shows what crap it is when people say you need to make some big scores to get picked
Hussey needs to move North if he wants a game for Aus

i reckon he a chance for the 2008/9 test series in australia if he has ripping season this year in the 4 day domestic series and makes alot runs over in england he would be very good chance to be in the side with his brother.

Voges is consistent even if he dont get the big ones. Hussey can fail for single figures a fair bit. If voges gets 40ish almost every game & then every other few games gets his 70's & 80's then it makes our batting so much more solid.
More importently Voges is a leader.
& ohh yeah Voges was our top scorer in the A-Series ODI's in Pakistan recently.
He will get lots of games for Australia over the next year, its such a grueling international season & there will be injurys & they will want to rest players so he will have a big role to play.

Let's focus on some younger players. Hussey's missed the boat. And most of his first class runs have been scored in county cricket.

And these younger players are?
30 is hardly 'old' in cricketing terms.

Missed the boat? Right, he is the same age as when Mike made his debut, Hodge made his debut, but yeah he has missed the boat :rolleyes:

Moving forward ed I would say that we need some youth. David Hussey whilst brilliant is hardly going to be around for that long!

So atleast another 5-6 years, maybe longer, isnt enough?

Well I havent found any area that Voges is better than Hussey in, so yeah, what does Voges have going for him other than being younger? Hussey is a bigger scoring player
As for Hodge and Symonds, no contest, Hodge averages 30 more in tests, about 10 more in first class and 12 or so more in one day cricket

Haha, your credibility is so incredibly torn to shreds when you spout crap like this, that when you occasionally say something that is half right (eg. the Voges vs Dussey argument), noone listens.

Voges is younger (as you said), is a leader, can bat anywhere from 3-7, is a right hander (Aus has to many left handers!), is already on the Aussie selectors radar. Hussey has just missed the boat. He won't make it as big as Mike.
Lol, at the last sentence. Wrong facts. Oh and don't tell me that Hodge is a a better ODI batsman then Symonds - I will end up havin' a heart attack.

So in other words the only thing you have is that he is younger, oh and I hope you werent implying that Dave was left handed :o
Nothing wrong about my facts, ODIs is all that Symonds is ahead of Hodge in and thats after he took 5 years to make any runs

Well, basically. Why play a player just because he has a famous last name? Why wouldn't you play a player with better ability at a younger age? And of course, Iam not an idiot - I know Dave is Right-Handed.
:|Five years? I dont remember him playing in 1998? He made runs at the 03 WC and since then he has been the most destructive batsman in ODI Cricket, have you read that Symonds article on Cricinfo? Well, Hodge then. He hasn't done anything special other then one hundred(that I can remember), can't bowl for shit. ...

Dave Hussey is consistantly scoring runs but at the moment, as people have said, the openeners spot is only open. They could do a little re-jigg M Hussey moves up to open and Dave can slot in at number 5. His time is getting shorter for a shot but he deserves a chance without question.

:thumbsu:
Won't happen unfortunately... even though Dave has an incredible first class record.
Would need quite a few injuries to occur for this to happen.

He wont play Tests with Mike, One Dayers he has a chance but (just because his last name is Hussey) because the crowds would love to see:
6.)D.Hussey
7.)M.Hussey

Its about consistency. Thats what the omission of Hodge from the test side a few years ago tells me.
If i had to put money on it i'd say never.
Barring mass injuries.
