England turned the screws on Australia's embattled leadership yesterday with Ricky Ponting's dismal run of form in the Ashes continuing on the opening day of the third Test in Perth.
Then he was brilliantly caught by Paul Collingwood at third slip off the bowling of James Anderson for 12.
Ponting admitted this week his future as captain was uncertain. However, veteran Mike Hussey, himself on the verge of being axed before the series, but now revelling in a remarkable run of rejuvenated form, backed his skipper to rebound in similar fashion.
"It is a fine line and Ricky was unlucky to be caught out by an amazing catch," he said.
"Ricky is such a champion batsman, champion bloke and champion captain that I am sure he will be fine."
