Mark and Steve Waugh : Brothers in Cricket - 4

Today, in the brothers of cricket series, we are going to see the fraternal twins - Mark Waugh and Steve Waugh of Australia.

Mark Waugh, the younger of the twins by a few minutes, is regarded as one of the most stylish cricketers.. Most of his shots are classy and a treat to watch.. He was regarded as one of the best allrounders with his off-spin bowling... He is one of my favourite players too :)

Steve Waugh, the elder of the siblings, was Australian cricket team's captain from 1999 to 2004 and is the most capped test player... He has captained the Oz team to many victories and also World cup in 1999.

Steve Waugh captained the Australian team to World Cup victory in 1999.

The Aussies Mark Waugh and Steve Waugh have the record of playing the most number of tests and one day cricket in which siblings appeared together.

Brothers in Cricket - 3: Brendon and Nathan McCullum

Continuing with the Brothers in Cricket series, lets look at the Kiwi bros - Brendon McCullum and Nathan McCullum.

Like the Hussey Brothers of Australia, even amongst the New Zealanders Brendon & Nathan, Brendon McCullum is the youngest & more experienced cricketer of both. He has been the captain of the Black Caps for quite sometime and then decided to concentrate more on his batting and keeping. He is one of T20s most explosive batsmen currently.

Nathan McCullum entered into the international arena only recently and is making good progress with his spin bowling and average batting. Lets see how much he progresses. But I don't see him to be a much greater prospect for the Kiwis.

Here are some good pictures of the McCullum brothers together and alone...

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.


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


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.
