3. Amazing Adelaide

Hussey had a major role to play in one of the most famous Ashes matches ever played, even being so early in his glittering Test career.

Not only did he hit the winning runs in an Ashes Test that gave Australia a 2-0 series lead, but his efforts throughout the entire second innings were crucial, having arrived at the crease at 2-33.

Australia were chasing 168 runs for victory, with just 36 overs on offer and Hussey used his skills to deliver a famous test match run chase.

His score of 91 was also a critical part of the first innings.
