Brothers in Cricket - 2: Mike Hussey and David Hussey


Following the Brothers in Cricket series, today's special is the Australian brothers - Michael Hussey and David Hussey.

Australian Brothers - Mike Hussey and David Hussey
Michael Hussey aka Mike Hussey is the elder brother and more established of the two brothers. He started his career for the Australian international cricket much late, but quickly climbed up the ladders to become one of the most reliable member of the Australian cricket team. Of late his form has dipped quite a bit.

David Hussey is the younger brother and is still to establish strongly in the Australian international cricket. He has played a few ODI cricket and also T20 cricket. He is known for his amazing hitting and hence termed as a T20 player mostly.

Here are some of the pictures of the famous Hussey brothers...

Brothers in Cricket - 1: Irfan Pathan and Yusuf Pathan


Today, I'm gonna start a new series of pictures featuring cricketing brothers - brothers who've played cricket together at some point of time in their careers...

I'll start with our own Indian big hitting cricket brothers - The Pathan brothers - Irfan Pathan and Yusuf Pathan

Yousuf and Irfan Pathan
The Pathan brothers Yusuf and Irfan Pathan grew up in a mosque in Baroda, in an impoverished family. His father served as the muezzin.

Younger brother Irfan Pathan started early in the Indian team as a fast bowler but then slowly became an all rounder. But, poor bowling form led to him being dropped from the Indian test and ODI team.


Slowly, Yusuf Pathan took over the scene when he burst into the Indian ODI and T20 team with his power hitting in IPL.


Currently, both these brothers are out of the team and going through a rough patch.

But, I hope they work hard and come back in a great style.
Here is wishing both these brothers good success in future with the Indian cricket team.
