Abstract:
No sooner had I signed off on my last column and sat back to listen to the cricket than I heard that Michael Hussey had a nice leave. I assumed this meant he'd enjoyed his holidays as a welcome break from his busy schedule. Not so. The commentator went on to explain that it meant he didn't try to bat every ball. Just as a good writer knows what to leave out, a good bat like Hussey knows which balls not to bat; that is, to leave. So, Hussey (who was originally a batsman, became a batter a few years ago, and is now a bat) has a good leave.
