Mr Cricket was almost Mr Squash

Michael Hussey could have been lost to squash as a junior. Fortunately, as Andrew Ramsey reports in The Australian, he stayed with cricket.

Squash was my big game, I played a lot of squash as a kid … I played at state junior level but I made a decision between cricket and squash when I was about 15 or 16 as to which one I wanted to follow. I loved both the sports, but it was the team element of cricket that appealed to me. The whole notion of winning together, losing together, celebrating together, commiserating together.
