In the Sun-Herald, David Sygall speaks to Michael Hussey about his early days as a first-class cricketer – and some of the events that shaped his future.
He was picked for Western Australia and received an introduction he will never forget. "I was 12th man and the only young fella in the team at the time," Hussey says. "Tom Moody told me he needed to take some pills for a backache. I told him I'd get some water, but he said, 'No. They're suppositories - and you need to apply them'. Everyone joined in on the act and I was about to scream as Tom dragged me to the toilets. Thankfully, they all burst out laughing and that was the end of it."
Daniel Lane writes in the same paper of Ricky Ponting’s most important partnership – with his wife Rianna.
Kerry O'Keeffe uses his Sunday Telegraph column to suggest that Stuart MacGill deserves a Test spot because “he could spend an off-season trapped inside a vat of riesling and still return match-winning numbers at his next appearance”.
And in the Sunday Herald Sun Keith Stackpole laments that Victorian cricket is at one of its lowest points, with no Victorians deserving a spot in the Test team.
