Hussey's challenge is to motivate his left-arm pacer Mitchell Johnson back into form, who had a torrid time in the opening two Tests.

'He seems comfortable and was focused at training,' Hussey was quoted as saying in the Skysports.

'Mitchell and (bowling coach) Troy Cooley are very clear on what they need to work on. Hopefully he (Mitchell) can come into the game in a good frame of mind and clear on what he wants to work on and can get his confidence right up for the next Test. I'll communicate with him and see how he's feeling, and also take into account the situation of the game,' he said.
