5 successful cricketers who made their Test debut after the age of 30

#1. Michael Hussey:

Michael Hussey was one of the most successful middle order batsman for Australia in recent times

Michael Hussey made his Test debut after his 30th birthday in 2005. Hussey could not make it to the Test squad earlier as the invincible Australian team in the early 2000s left no stone unturned while thrashing their opponents, and as a result there were very few changes to their winning squads.

Hussey, after spending almost a decade on the domestic circuit, immediately moved to the international level and turned out to be one of the best finishers to have played the game of cricket. Hussey mastered the art of batting with the tail and won many matches for Australia from positions where even a die hard cricket fan would have considered it impossible to win.

Hussey played 79 Tests scoring 6235 runs at an impressive average of 51.52 with 19 hundreds. In ODIs, Hussey represented Australia in 185 matches scoring 5442 runs at an impressive average of 48.15.

If only Hussey had played a few more years for Australia, who knows he might have finished as one of the greatest batsmen of all times and bowed down as a legend. Though that did not happen, he created a legacy of his own and is an example for cricketers world over.
