Hussey said he can stop Tendulkar

Michael Hussey insists Australia will be doing all they can to prevent Sachin Tendulkar from scoring his 100th international century.

The 'Little Master' is poised on 99 tons and it is widely anticipated that the elusive 100 will come up in the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne.

But, while Hussey expects Tendulkar to reach the landmark, he just hopes to not be on the receiving end of it.

"I hope he doesn't get it against Australia. He's been a number one player for so long, it's a credit to his character, but I hope he doesn't get his 100th hundred in Australia," said Hussey.

"I don't think he is under any pressure though. He knows his own game so well. He has been under pressure for so long. The way the public has been with Tendulkar in India, he would be able to handle it, no problem."

Hussey himself meanwhile is struggling for form and is lucky to be selected for the Melbourne Test after failing in the Test series' against South Africa and New Zealand.

The 36-year-old has scored just 83 runs in his last seven innings', but insists he just needs a bit of luck to go his way and the runs will soon follow.
