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.
After conceding 191 first innings runs to Pakistan, Australia were always looking against the odds to chase the total down in a format of the game they had often struggled at. By the time 17.1 overs had passed, any chance of winning was all but gone when Steve Smith's wicket fell at 7/144.
Hussey, who had walked out to the crease in the 12th over, was resolute in his determination to get the Aussies across the line.
In the space of 17 balls, Hussey hit three boundaries and four sixes (including three in the last over), dragging Australia into the final.
It was a heroic 60* off 24 balls that will go down in history.
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.
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.
The IPL is a very lucrative competition, and outstanding performances within this competition should not be overlooked.
Hussey scored 733 runs in the 2013 IPL, which is the fifth-highest individual run total in one edition of the IPL.
Hussey's batting with the Chennai Super Kings saw him score 6 half-centuries and an average of 52.35.
He opened the batting that season and was solid in his ability to continue ticking over the score, with a strike rate of 129.
Hussey was almost the sole shining light for Australia's unsuccessful home Ashes campaign in 2010-11.
His effort in Brisbane was his career-high score, finishing with 195 runs.
In that series, Hussey was regularly plunged into the wicket at three or four wickets down for no more than 20 or 30 runs.
He scored that mammoth hundred in Brisbane, before 93 and 52 in Adelaide, and 61 and 116 in Perth, which proved to be the backbone of Australia's batting lineup.
During these Ashes, Hussey's brilliance within what was a battling side was certainly a major individual career highlight.
