David Hussey, the Australia batsman, hopes to use the Twenty20 series against South Africa to challenge for a spot in the ODI team. Hussey was left out of Australia's ODI squad for the three matches that will follow the T20s, after a lean tour of Sri Lanka, but is determined to get his place back.

"I can not wait to press my case, and shows other options that I can play at a higher level," Hussey said in Cape Town. Hussey has been a considerable amount of rugged island, scoring just 8 runs against Australia, two in Sri Lanka, T20 and 54 works in three ODIs in which he beat. His last ODI half-century against England in February, but he averaged 38 with the bat since the beginning of a return is out of the ODI team after 16 months.

While his focus is on getting back here, Mr. Hussey said he was also taken into account to use their time in the T20, as it "gives me the opportunity to play international cricket." He said although some people believe that the shortest format of the game should be reserved for national teams only feels "enough" of the International T20 plays.

Those who are still disappointed that Australia and South Africa will only play two tests in this series may disagree with her, but Hussey believes even the short trip between the two old enemies will give a competitive process. "Every time Australia played South Africa, be it rugby, cricket or if both teams make the most of the other," he said. "Thursday will be different. Both teams are desperate to win. "

Australia and South Africa have both been a regime change since their last meeting, and Australia has not yet been completed without long-term replacement for Tim Nielsen has yet announced, but do Hussey not see it as an interruption. Troy Cooley is acting as a coach for the tour to South Africa. "With a coaching staff, new ideas," said Hussey. "The advantage of the Australian team is that we adapt very quickly and the temporary coach, Troy Cooley, has been around the team for five years now. It implements its own ideas and skills. "

Australia has also used two matches of the T20 series, introducing new faces as the young fast bowlers, Patrick Cummins and James Pattinson, and even forced to hand, because the damage to Tim Paine, wicketkeeper Matthew Wade. Hussey believes that Rookies give them a trump card. "The advantage of having some young players is that South Africans do not really know too much about them. Hopefully we can hit the ground running."
