Michael Hussey, the man with the second best sustained average in Test history, underwent a critical assessment of his batting in the off-season so his time at the crease wasn’t such a “battle”. Adam Cooper, from AAP, talks to Hussey about the changes in technique.
"To be honest I feel like my batting's been a real battle for two years," he said. "I've just been sort of hanging in there and grinding away and it feels like every innings has been a real vigil and it didn't feel like I could play a lot of shots with a lot of power or conviction."
