James Michael Hussey (27 May 1880 – 24 August 1950) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played first-class cricket for Auckland, Hawke's Bay and Otago between the 1901–02 season and 1907–08.[1]
In Auckland's victory over Hawke's Bay in 1905–06 Hussey top-scored in each innings, making 74 not out and 40 not out.[2] He played for Rangitikei and Wanganui in the Hawke Cup from 1911 to 1924, taking 7 for 24 in the second innings when Wanganui defeated South Auckland to take the trophy for the first time in December 1913.[3]
Hussey worked for the Customs service until 1908 when he went to Wellington to enter the legal profession.[4] He was admitted as a solicitor on 13 March 1908.[5] He practised in Hunterville in the Rangitikei region before moving to Wanganui in 1912.[6]
He died at home in Wanganui in August 1950, survived by his wife and their two sons and a daughter.[6] [7]
