Hussey feels huge scores is a result of demand for entertainment from various parties.
“Fans and broadcasters and administrators want to see excitement,” Hussey told cricket.com.au.
“They want to see fours and sixes being hit," he said.
“They don’t want to see batsmen struggling and dot balls, plays and misses and things like that. I’m sure they’d love to see the wickets, but maybe the balance has gone too far," Hussey said.
“Maybe that’s the challenge for the bowlers, but they’ve improved. They went through a stage where they went through developing new deliveries like slower-ball bouncers and wide yorkers and different types of slower balls," he said.
“Perhaps they have to keep improving as well," he said.
The current World Cup has seen several 300 plus scores so far.
“When I was playing the benchmark was 250 or 260 and it seems to have increased again," he said.
“It’s gone up to 300, maybe 280 to 300 is a par score these days, which is amazing," the cricketer said.
