A break from tabloid stories for our sports reporter Harish Kotian's exclusive from Bangalore...

Where there is a will, there is a way! And this certainly holds true for Australian veteran Michael Hussey. After his controversial omission from the 15-member Australian World Cup squad, it seems Lady Luck has finally smiled on him.

Rediff.com has been learnt that he could be sent in as a replacement player for the injured Doug Bollinger, who is sent to return home with a left ankle injury. A source close to the ICC confirmed that Hussey could make it to the World Cup, once the formalities are completed and cleared by the technical committee.
