Overview

What the figures show

The IPL part of Michael Hussey's career runs from 2008 to 2015: 58 innings, 1,977 runs, a best of 116, an average of 38.76. 2013 was the heaviest of them, 733 runs for Chennai Super Kings at an average of 52.40, 241 clear of any other season. The 116 made in 2008 is the highest score of that IPL career. Fifty has been passed sixteen times, one of those going on to hundreds.

He has moved between franchises — Chennai Super Kings (2008–2013), Mumbai Indians (2014) and Chennai Super Kings (2015). Most of the runs, 1,691 of them, came in the Chennai Super Kings years. There is no IPL cricket on the record in 2009.

There is a Big Bash record too: 671 runs in 23 matches, 20 of the scoring shots clearing the rope. Scoring has been quicker in the Big Bash — 131.3 per hundred balls against 122.6 in the other. The averages read 38.76 and 33.55.

Against England in the Ashes he made 1,304 runs in 15 Tests at 59.27, with four hundreds and a best of 195.

How this page was worked out

Where these figures come from

Sources for this profile

  • IPL figures computed from ball-by-ball records of 1,243 IPL matches.
  • Big Bash figures computed from ball-by-ball records of men’s BBL matches.
  • Ashes figures compiled from published Test match records, not from ball-by-ball data.
  • Date of birth, playing style and photograph come from a third-party player feed, matched by name.

How the numbers are derived

  • A wide is not a ball faced; a no ball is.
  • Byes and leg byes are not charged to the bowler; wides and no balls are.
  • Six kinds of dismissal are credited to a bowler. A run out is not one of them.
  • An average is runs over dismissals, and is left blank rather than shown as infinite.
