Mike Hussey is one of the best cricketers to represent Australia in the 21st century.

He played 79 test matches, 185 ODIs, 38 T20Is, and scored 22 international hundreds.

Known as Mr Cricket, Hussey had a late debut, not playing his first Test until the age of 30, but still went on to be one of the best.

He finished with a Test batting average of 51.51, and an ODI average almost on par at 48.15.

Often referred to as having the nicest cover drive in cricket, there are few achievements Hussey failed to make on the field.

We take a look at five of Mike Hussey's career-best moments.

4. The Hussey-Siddle partnership in Sydney

in the 2010 New Year's test, Australia slumped to 8-257 in their second innings, which was just 41 runs ahead of Pakistan.

By then Hussey and Siddle were occupying the crease, buying time, and inching the modest lead forward, aided by Pakistan's baffling tactics in the field.

Shortly after, Hussey reached his century, while Siddle sat idle at the other end, hanging in there for his partner and scoring a career-high 38 runs.

By the time Siddle's wicket had fallen, the pair had put on 133 runs for the ninth wicket, and Australia were bowled out shortly after with a total of 381.

Hussey finished with 134 runs of 284 balls, with Pakistan's fourth innings target a competitive 176.

Australia then bowled Pakistan out for 139, in a miraculous turnaround attributed to Hussey's innings.
