WT20: Michael Hussey seals miracle win
AA

Husaey let out a roar of joy as he hit that shot. Waqar Younis hung his head down. Joy and sorrow overlap on the field. Saeed Ajmal to MEK Hussey, SIX, Australianism prevails! What a great dramatic game this has been. Goose bumps! What a heartbreak for Pakistan. Michael Hussey has played like a dream. He finished the game with yet another big hit. This is the Twenty20 innings of his lifetime. He finished it in style. He cleared the front foot and swing the ball over long-on. The while ball disappeared beyond the boundary. The Australian dug out erupted in joy. The Pakistani camp is stunned. U N B E L I E V A B L E. Hussey is mobbed by his team-mates. Clarke envelops him with a hug. The entire squad is out there on the ground. This was the scene in the cricket field when hussy helped the australian team to chase down 192 runs.

Fear has played a huge role in Australia's recent dominance over Pakistan and it was the shedding of it by Shahid Afridi's batsmen that took them, at the halfway stage, to a rare position of strength in a delayed semi-final at St Lucia. Predictably, the Akmal brothers had much to do with it; the elder Kamran took responsibility at the top, before the younger Umar provided an almighty burst at the death, setting a rattled Australia 192 to progress to the final. Chasing 192 Australia, was never in a strong position however things have dramatically changed to their advantage in the last 4 overs.
