With Nasser's retirement, Cricinfo decided to look into the batsmen to get their team out of a hole.

A hole was defined as being 25-1, 50-2, 75-3 or 100-4 (max runs at that wicket fall) and the results were quite interesting.

Ricky Ponting came up top with an average of 60, compared with his career average of 54.72 and Hussain second (41.32 vs. 37.19)

Interestingly, the 2 worst highlighted were none other than Steve Waugh and Rahul Dravid...
