Hussey The Hero: Australia v Pakistan, World T20....
In a year that has provided few highs to the Australia cricket team, it is hard to overlook Mike Hussey's incredible innings against Pakistan in the Twenty20 World Cup semi-final that snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Australia required 18 runs for victory from the bowling of Saeed Ajmal and two balls in the equation was 11 off four. Two balls later the match was over with a boundary-four and another booming maximum.
Triple treat: Siddle's Ashes hat-trick....
Australia fast bowler Peter Siddle ensured that the 459 days of waiting for the Ashes proved well worth it, with a spectacular hat-trick that headlined a remarkable first day’s play. With England looking on track to build a solid first-innings score at 4-197, Siddle broke through to snare the vital wicket of Alastair Cook for 67 from a pitched up delivery that took the edge and carried to Shane Watson at first slip. Next ball, Siddle was celebrating again, when Matt Prior played across the line to another full-pitch ball that crashed into the wicket-keeper’s off-stump. Third in the firing line was Stuart Broad.
