David Hussey is a former Australian cricketer who made his international cricket debut at the age of 30. He was a right-handed batsman and a part time right arm off spin bowler.
He is the brother of former Australian cricketer Michael Hussey. David was born on 15 July 1977 in Morley, Western Australia. He captained the Melbourne Stars in Big Bash League.

Like his brother, he scored loads of runs at the domestic level before appearing at the international arena. He played regularly in both the Australian domestic championship and the English county circuit.
David used to play for Victoria Bushrangers in Australian domestic competition. In the 2003-04 season, he scored 212 not out while chasing a target of 455 in the fourth innings to beat New South Wales. That knock made his name and impressed the then skipper Steve Waugh.
