Melbourne, July 24 - Michael Hussey, who is struggling to find form in the Ashes series, says he is working to rectify a minor technical flaw in his batting that was pointed by skipper Ricky Ponting and feels it could turn around his bad patch.

Hussey has been one of Australia's batting mainstay since making debut in 2005 but suddenly finds himself in the middle of a lean trot as Australia fights back a resurgent England.

The left-hander found that his right shoulder was coming too far around, creating problems.

'That was causing my eyes not to be level with the bowler,' Hussey was quoted as saying in The Australian.

'Ricky picked it up. I was struggling with a couple of balls. I felt like I wasn't picking it up early, like I had a blind spot there.

'I was looking out towards mid-off a little bit, which gave me a slight blind spot and meant I couldn't pick the ball up quite as early out of the bowler's hand as I would have liked.

'I have just tried to open myself up a little bit to look straight at the bowler. It's helped me to pick the ball up a little bit earlier out of the bowler's hand.'

Ponting told him he too faced a similar problem before.
