"Michael Hussey now Mr Average"
"He has got an excellent record; he has been a top player for quite a while. In the last year his average hasn't been great, way below what his Test average is. We know he's a good player, but everyone needs runs. No one has a God-given right to be in the team," Mark Waugh said.
"(Selectors) have probably been a bit lenient on him because he has such a good record. It has come to the stage where he will need to score shortly. If he doesn't make a big score next Test, selectors will be looking at making the change," he said.
"He is seriously in trouble. He has not scored a century in his last 27 Test innings. I think he's got too careful. He is putting way too much pressure on himself. He is trying to protect his average, instead of concentrating on how he got the average in the first place," Dean Jones said.
"The number one mistake for batsmen is not watching the length of the ball properly, not going forward to the fuller delivery and not stepping backwards for the short ball. He is getting caught on the crease," Jones added.
"He is getting out too many times on the pads. And he is vulnerable early in his innings, for some reason, where he never used to be. He has just got to work his way through it.
"He needs a big score in the fifth Test. People always remember the fifth game, they don't remember the first four.
People always remember the last half of your career, not your first," Jones said.
