Bangalore, Mar. 14 (ANI): Veteran Australian batsman Mike Hussey has said that his side is ready to ramp up their bid for a fourth straight ICC World Cup.
Australia are unbeaten in 33 World Cup matches after a 60-run victory over Kenya in their Group A contest.
Hussey, who returned to the middle-order with a bright 54 of 43 balls against Kenya, said Australia's clash with Pakistan in the final group match marked the real beginning of their title defence.
"Pakistan is going to be a huge game down in Colombo and we should be starting to try and peak around that stage as well," Fox Sports quoted Hussey, as saying.
He added: "We can still get better in a lot of areas and if we keep getting better it should be a great game against Pakistan."
"It wasn't so bad for me but for the boys, I think they've had enough netting. They're pretty keen to get into the real stuff and we've got three games in seven days now so it should be good," Hussey said.
Ponting said he was happy to have his middle-order rock back in the batting line-up.
"Great to have Huss back around the squad. He fitted back in beautifully today and played the way we know he can play," Ponting said. (ANI)
