Stalking the FPM (David Hussey, an innings by)

He come out, he looks like his normal slightly nervy self, good sign.

In his profile pic he looks like he swallowed a low flying anus.

First ball he pushes back to the bowler, Luc Besson Miller, who ends up too close to “little” Roy.

Gets off the mark by cutting Chris Gayle for a single.

He loves this bat, it has weird sorts of marks all over it like he has been hitting Cane Toads with it.

Good wrist work sees his first one day international 2 behind square leg.

He would be nervous, he probably has never had to wait this long to come in for Notts or Victoria. Definitely not for Victoria.

He just left a ball, odd.

He seems unperturbed by the chicken that has been on the field all day.

The run rate has slowed down a bit, partly cause the spinners are bowling well, partly cause Hussey can’t get them away.

A bit of rain.

Back on after 3 minutes of confusion.

Cover drove is played quite nicely although almost ends in tears as the chicken has to move quickly to avoid death.

Strikes his first one day international boundary playing a lovely late cut off Luc Besson Miller.

Short ball that he ducks, this is what NSWales and Tassie do to slow him down.

Looks like he is getting more comfortable, last ball was a slap to cover that he tried to hit off the island.

I was right, next ball Bravo dropped short and Hussey smacked it over mid wicket for six, his first one day international six. In other news his helmet almost came off mid shot.

Roy plays reverse sweep off the back of his bat, must have been inspired by FPM.

37 off 43.

Hussey brings out the miss timed swipe.

Pulls out the soft shoe shuffle off Powell and smacks him over mid off for six. Nice, very very nice.

First one day international 50 for FPM with a single to mid off from Gayle.

Next ball out.

He quite often goes out after a landmark.

Gayle fired in the fast low full toss into the pads and Hussey tries to get under it and hits it to mid wicket.

Good start for David.

Roy batted ok too.www.cricketwithballs.com
