FORMER Test batting linchpin Mike Hussey says the struggling Australian side must stay united and will repay faith given time.

Australia has lost the first two Tests of their Ashes campaign, crashing to a calamitous 347-run defeat in the second Test at Lord's after two wretched batting efforts.
They are clearly missing Hussey, who averaged 51.52 over 79 Tests, the last of which was against Sri Lanka in the first week of this year.
Since then, Australia have lost six straight Test matches.

The prolific left-hander, who on Monday confirmed he would play for Big Bash League franchise Sydney Thunder this summer, again ruled out a Test comeback.
Renowned for his positivity and enthusiasm, Hussey was adamant Australia could bounce back but admitted they are doing it tough.
"At times like these the guys have got to really stay tight together and try and look for the positives and try and get back in a positive frame of mind," Hussey said.
"And really just identify one or two things each, individually and collectively, what they can do better."
Hussey said he expected the pride of the players to provide the spark for better performances in the three remaining Tests.
"I just think that we've got a squad there that we've got to show a lot of faith and belief in and they will repay that faith over time," Hussey said.
"It does take time to build up your experience, to get into those real tough pressure situations and work your way through them and the more times they are exposed to that the better they bare going to get."
Hussey said he wasn't missing the international stage.

"I'm sort of glad I'm not really in that pressure situation, those tough situations, there's a lot of stress and tension involved," Hussey said.
Asked what he would advise captain Michael Clarke, Hussey said he would try to keep him in a positive frame of mind and eliminate all the distractions and peripheral issues.
Hussey believed the proliferation of T20 tournaments was having an effect on batsmen's ability to play lengthy Test innings.
"I certainly found it difficult making the transition between the different formats of the game, it took me time and I'm a very structured and planned and organised sort of player," Hussey said.
"It's a difficult challenge and I think there is possibly an effect now, but there's possibly going to be more of an effect in times to come with more and more T20 being played."
Hussey was surprised by the sacking of coach Mickey Arthur but backed his replacement, Darren Lehmann, to do a good job.
"He'll help the guys to try and relax and enjoy the game, go out there and express themselves and play their best cricket."
