Cricket: Hussey wary of wounded Indians

Mike Hussey says his Australia team-mates aren't thinking about securing a 4-0 series whitewash of India just yet, despite dominating the first two Tests.

Although the Indians were humiliated by an innings and 68 runs at the SCG last week, Hussey is predicting a far more determined effort from the tourists in the third Test starting Friday at the WACA Ground.

"It's going to be a tough Test match," Hussey said.

"India have got some great players, with a lot of experience and a lot of pride.

"I'm expecting them to bounce back quite hard in this Test match.

"We haven't spoken about (a 4-0 series win) at all.

"In Sydney we just tried to enjoy that amazing Test match ... and then basically close the door on that one and start afresh.

"We start nil-all again here in Perth.

"We're playing a good brand of cricket at the moment. We've just got to keep improving a little bit from every game."

Hussey, fresh from his unbeaten 150 in Sydney, is looking forward to batting at his home ground where curator Cameron Sutherland expects a fast and bouncy pitch.

"I love the Perth Test match. The crowd here give unbelievable support," Hussey said.

"The roar you get as a local player when you come out to bat or take a catch is 10 times louder than any other player.

"I know the conditions extremely well as well, so that's an advantage over other players from around the country and around the world.

"It is a great place to play cricket. Once you get in on this pitch, it's fantastic for batting."
