David Hussey is basically blacklisted and out of favour with selectors because of his supposed behaviour and comments he made.
As for the Ashes, look at it this way...if we lose in England we get another crack at the Ashes a couple of months later in Australia. The English team is really not that good at the moment anyway, i reckon the Aussies will have a good crack at it. Just need to fix a few problems with the batting....and we've got quite a few decent quicks available once Cummins and Pattinson return. Along with Siddle, Johnson, Starc and Bird who are all bowling well lately.
