It's worth dwelling on, who are these players you can't keep out of the game: Shoaib Malik, Akmal & Akmal, Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Akhtar, Mohd. Asif. Infidelity to the game is never an issue, you just can't keep these boys out of the game.
And who are the players you can keep out of the game: MoYo and Younis Khan. And of course, David Hussey, who prompted the comment with some fielding, then a run-out, then a wicket. What will happen when he bats? They'll write a book about him titled You can't keep him out of the game.
You can't keep him out of the game.
Low quality video of David Hussey's high quality catch.
What do you expect - he could either take the goddamn catch or shoot the goddamn video.
You can also read Hussey on the catch, years later
The disgusted look on Pricky's face when bowled by Mendis.
If only he had played for KKR, he would have Mendis bowling at him in the nets with a free bonus of Ishant Sharma practice as well. Instead he chose to rest. His wicket may have meant a period of forced rest for the Ozs for a few weeks more.
To top that he chooses to pull David Hussey (the only Oz who would have played Mendis in the nets this year) down the order under the Vice(full) captain.
Prickius Spectaculus.

Q Moment of IPL Match #48
David Hussey.
His innings lasted a moment, but what a moment it was.
Some amazing sixes.
None better than the one over extra cover off Andrew Symonds.
Beautiful!
Katich & Kaif
by Naked Cricket
A law firm yes, a cricket firm, no way.
Research reveals cricinfo’s profile picture of Katich is very unKatichlike. Simon is smiling. It resembles a grimace, but it’s more of a smile. Almost scary, but then we know how benign Simon really is. Wonder why he dropped this smile? Just can’t katich.
Then there’s Kaif. He’s got his voter’s id card photo out. There should be a stamp, but adobe photoshoped it away. Wonder why they didn’t show him squatting at silly point?
But enough of the niceties, boys, both Katich and Kaif, though humble servants of the noble game, have not been long term prospects.
They lack glamour. They’re too sincere. Their ODI strike rates are low – Katich’s is less than 70, Kaif’s less than 73 – it’s 72 odd. Very odd. That’s almost like Saurav’s or Rahul’s. But 10 less on their middle aged average. Next -
Over to Marsh & whoever it was that took over from Kaif. Yuvraj?
Next – Raina, Rohit, Raina?
Rohit & Raina. A law firm yes, a cricket firm, yes too.
And how about Marsh & Hussey, David that is.
Even their profile pictures are more cricketlike. At least David’s is.
