Former Australian Test cricketer Michael Hussey has said that current captain Michael Clarke would be refocusing his team quickly as they are still not the number one side despite winning having an unassailable lead in the Ashes.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Hussey said that the team also needed to be hungry to win in South Africa.

He added that Mitchell Johnson has put up some good performances in South Africa and it would be good for the team to have him there.

Hussey also applauded Clarke and Darren Lehmann for together creating an environment that is fun for the team and said that it was a very important factor in their recent Ashes success.
