I have decided to read this book because I love sport but mainly cricket and love hearing what they had to go through to be a cricket player. I wasn't told about this book i saw it in the sports section and got attached to it. Micheal Hussey the book

I have decided to read this book because I love sport but mainly cricket and love hearing what they had to go through to be a cricket player. I wasn't told about this book i saw it in the sports section and got attached to it. Michael Hussey is an amazing cricketer and father so i want to take stuff out of this book. I haven’t heard anyone talk about this book so hopefully it meets my standard to be fun and teach me the standards of how to be a Australian cricket player. The blurb was interesting so that’s why I am reading it.

Michael Hussey is really who they say he is. He is the kind of man you want to be around. As I’m 50% through this terrific book I am willing to share a bit about it. Shane Warne is playing a big role on the pitch for the Aussies ending them in a comeback win as most people would have said England had the game in the bag. Shane Warne is getting wickets why the batsmen and bowlers are doing their job as for Michael Hussey he is not making runs but he is definitely showing leadership. He tells game by game the ups and the downs as he begins to be a captain he is shocked at how hard it was not as easy as he thought. He commented saying “my bowlers aren’t listening to me and not hearing to my plan which as captain I should have the responsibility to set my field.” The team has just recently in the book gone to the world cup and are striving for the world cup, one player called Matthew Hayden is loving it most off all hitting runs. I have loved this book so far and will continue to read this till the end.
I loved this book as i am so into cricket. It showed the Ups and the downs that Michael himself had in his career the people he got along with the people he didn’t. He in his cricket career was nearly forced to stop as his wife had a bay but nearly went really badly. Fortunately for him and his family his kids are healthy and living a normal life. He had a brilliant career with the bat scoring a lot of runs all throughout if you want an understanding of how it is as a professional cricketer or the journey/process it is i would recommend to read this. Michael made many friends dating back from when he started the game in 1996 to now where he still has lifelong friends. As of today him the man Michael is now retired but is playing 20/20 for the Sydney thunder every year in December/January. This book was outstanding I loved reading it as it showed me the steps from a young kid to a teenager and then all of a sudden being a professional cricketer. I would recommend this to people who has a knowledge about cricket and it’ll give a deeper understanding how hard it is. ...more "
