Sydney : Dec 17 , 2013
Former Australian Test star Mike Hussey has said Aussies can reclaim the No.1 Test ranking once again following its Ashes dominance over England in the current series.
After a 5-0 sweep of their Ashes rivals, Michael Clarke’s men could feasibly soar up the rankings, currently fifth in the world, into third on the ICC Test rankings heading into their next series.
Hussey seemed very positive about Clarke achieving his goal of taking the mantle of the best Test team once again.
The southpaw however distanced himself from his former teammate Glenn McGrath’s prediction that Aussies will produce an Ashes sweep against England.
Hussey suggested that even if Australia regained the Ashes, England will come back hard on the final day and it was naive to write off a champion team which has proven themselves earlier as well, talking to the Sydney Morning Herald.
McGrath’s ultra-confident 5-0 predictions became true as Michael Clarke‘s men went in for a dominant position with convincing wins against England in the first two Tests at Perth.
