Peter Roebuck dissects Michael Hussey's century in Perth in the Independent on Sunday.
Hussey's innings was a lesson in application, courage and execution. In truth he only played two shots with any regularity, the extra-cover drive and the pull, but he played them well and often. Of his 14 boundaries, eight came with pulls and four with off-drives. These strokes counterpoint each other admirably because they indicate that runs can be scored off both feet and on both sides of the wicket.
In the same newspaper, Bob Willis argues England should move Ian Bell up the order, ahead of Paul Collingwood. Scyld Berry shares the same thoughts in the Telegraph on Sunday.
Stephen Fay, also writing in the Independent on Sunday, says the biggest plus for England in the Perth Test was the return of Chris Tremlett, who stepped up in the absence of Stuart Broad.
Vic Marks, in the Observer, says Shane Watson's success as an opener could put him in contention for being the next Australian captain.
