00:00Mike Hussie at the SSC just a little earlier than he might have thought he'd be walking in
00:08Good ball first up
00:12Mike Hussie still on no score
00:15Well, that was before this drive
00:18It's off the mark with a wonderful cover drive
00:22over-pitched of course
00:24Changing the country box is going to be Ronald Abenaike along with Tony Gregg
00:31Yeah, beautiful balance, that's the thing that I think he's got more than anything and
00:41Or again nicely played away likes him on his pads too
00:45Back for the second Hussie's a really good hustler when it comes to running between the wickets.
00:50Did it into gaps?
00:53Got it away fine
00:55He plays that shot well actually very aware of the position of the square leg fieldsman so played it fine on purpose
01:02It's well wide
01:05Yes, oh bad ball that's just a terrible ball and Hussie takes full toll
01:13afternoon session
01:16Always hit that one over the top and beautifully played beautifully played it's gone all the way as well
01:23Well, he hit it so well I lost sight of it.
01:27I did too
01:28Very good, very good use of the feet by Hussie
01:31He's been batting superbly on this tour
01:34once again, that's a
01:37Clear example of how Hussie just got to the ball and hit it with the turn
01:43What timing for that that just flew over the boundary for six
01:50Inside edge
01:53Squirts away to fine leg nice and full on that occasion Naranga you were talking about the full delivery
02:04That will be Hussie's 50 well played once again
02:08Very assured just a couple of deliveries where it might have caught the edge of the bat
02:14Plenty of Australian supporters here, of course dressing room appreciating another fine knock
02:19The Australians really run away with this innings
02:24Powerful shot through the offside pass he that'll go all the way very well placed
02:34So the Sri Lankans have held the Australians
02:37There's a big decision at the toss for Tillagrad and Dilshan to
02:41opt to bowl first
02:44Opt to bowl first
02:49And pulled by Hussie for four in front of square and well I get that a banging it almost in his half and
02:57Hussie was on top of it
03:00Well, there's no room for warm-up balls and that's very much what that was well I get her just dragging it down and Hussie
03:07pouncing on us
03:09Smashing it through mid-wicket
03:14That's well played through the offside field
03:19Is a pretty heavy outfield
03:23Come back for three
03:28Well, it's another beautiful shot that time Hussie
03:31Getting onto the drive and getting it right out of the middle of the bat
03:35Another four. Well, the Australians are going pretty well this morning
03:38We
03:41Spoke about well, I get there as length and
03:44Well, this is the last ball a drive through extra cover such perfect timing by Hussie looks to be
03:53Just
03:56Good shot
03:58On the back foot playing the pull shot beautifully too short there Hussie again showing how quickly he picks up links
04:06Remember years ago Bradman saying class batsmen pick up length early
04:15Certainly pick that one up early
04:23He's got it away that's beautifully played well done Michael Hussie he's 15th test hundred
04:30He's fourth against Sri Lanka and boy he's played this knock in very very trying conditions
04:37The whole team on their feet. They all know
04:40That this has been a superb innings
04:44That's what a performer he has been
04:47certainly he's performed right through his
04:49Career coming late into the national side, but what a series he's had here in Sri Lanka
05:00That's down the ground and that will go all the way a quick shimmy down the wicket and Hussie goes over wide been on for six
05:08What a tremendous shot by Mike Hussie
05:10So he's shows his versatility. I
05:13Mean, he's a master to bat with the law order
05:17Look at that shot with the turn
05:20down the pitch
05:23a
05:24ball then
05:26Errunga finishes the innings in style and a slower ball and this is what we were talking about his variety and
05:34Mike Hussie is done by a brilliant slow delivery by Errunga
05:39Yeah, Errunga's taken four weeks now on this occasion with a slower ball Hussie looking to run it down to third man
05:46And getting a little inside edge onto the stumps. That's the end of what was a superb hundred
05:52by the left-hander
05:56Then Michael Hussie to pass up for a long visit at the crease
