Popularly known as 'Mr Cricket', Michael Hussy made his Test debut against the West Indies in Brisbane, Australia in November 2005, and has scored 6,183 Test runs over 78 Tests in his career. To his fans, it is the way he plays the game rather than simply the sum of his achievements that marks him out as one of the best-loved cricketers of his generation. He is a middle-order maestro with a batting average of 51.52, but he has always played cricket with integrity, dignity, and an understanding of what cricket stands for. Underneath the Southern Cross takes you behind the scenes of Michael Hussey's personal world of cricket. From his lengthy struggles to break into the Australian side, through to his masterly achievements in the team, in ODI and Indian Premier League, this book tracks the highs of his extraordinary cricket career.
