Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on May 27, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Mr. Cricket! Michael Hussey—legendary batsman, 2006 ICC ODI Player of the Year, and Australia's go-to player for sharing coffee with the scoreboard attendant considering your marathon innings.

Your cricketing career gave bowlers sleepless nights like that unforgettable century against England in the Ashes or swooping in last-minute to clinch a breathtaking T20 World Cup semi-final victory over Pakistan in 2010. Even today, your retirement prompts bowlers worldwide to celebrate annually—the thought of facing you again is simply too terrifying!

Here's wishing our evergreen Hussey an unforgettable birthday filled with joy, laughter—and hopefully no quick singles!
