David Hussey blossoms, in Jaques' shadow

As the younger brother of an international cricketer, David Hussey sets his standards pretty high.

But the 28-year-old Victorian batsman could be forgiven for wondering what else he can do to catch the attention of national selectors while Phil Jaques is running red hot.

Hussey stroked a one-day career-high 130 with 11 fours and two sixes in Victoria's 12-run win over Queensland at the Gabba on Wednesday night.

The younger sibling of boom Australian team batsman Michael Hussey has put together an ING Cup season which would ordinarily have him well-positioned for a call up to the national one day side.

But, with NSW's Jaques hogging the headlines with his prolific scoring feats, Hussey knows he'll have to do more.

Hussey has amassed 498 ING Cup runs this season at the Bradmanesque average of 99.60 with four 50s and a ton.

But it pales in comparison to Jaques' 658 runs at 109.66, boosted further by his 138 against Tasmania, his fourth one-day ton of the season.

A philosophical Hussey takes it all on the chin, saying the national selectors have seen nothing yet.

"I would like to show them (selectors) a bit more to be honest. I play the game to play for Australia and win trophies for Victoria - hopefully one day that comes my way," Hussey said.

"I am going along okay. I would like to get a few more runs in the Pura Cup but I can't complain about my one day form - I'd like to get a few more big scores though."

Despite his big ton, Hussey also had to bow to his Victorian skipper Cameron White who took the man of the match honours.

White hit 85 in a double ton stand with Hussey before ensuring victory by capturing 4-23 with his leggies, narrowly missing a hat-trick.

White also stole the limelight from Queensland allrounder Shane Watson who made his return after damaging his shoulder fielding for the Australian Test side against the West Indies in November.

Watson - trying to make next month's Australian tour of South Africa - had a less than ideal match return of 0-36 off six overs and 31 off 30 balls.

Hussey believed White had already done enough to at least add to his five international ODIs.

"He can play in any team as a batter or bowler. Everyone knows how talented the kid is," he said.

"I believe he will play a lot of Tests and one day cricket for Australia, he's that good."

Queensland skipper Jimmy Maher said of White: "I wouldn't say he's world class on the back of that but he played well.

"That's the first time he has got runs against us in one day cricket, and he bowled well with a greasy ball - it was a good, all-round performance."

On Watson's return, Maher said: "I thought he looked good. He bowled with good pace.

"He probably went for a few more than he would have liked but that was our game plan going into the game, to be aggressive - we had nothing to lose."
