Stand-in Australian one-day skipper Mike Hussey has dismissed speculation that he wants to take over from Ricky Ponting permanently.
With Ponting taking a well-earned rest from the one-day side, Hussey took over for Australia's match third match of the DLF series against the West Indies.
His leadership began positively, winning his first toss as captain, but couldn't lead the side to victory as the West Indies won by three wickets.
A website poll also showed that 54 per cent of voters would like Hussey as Australia's next captain, with current vice-captain Adam Gilchrist attracting only 20.3 per cent of the vote.
"I've mentioned a few times that I'm 100 per cent behind Ricky and Adam as captain and vice-captain of the team, and I can't really see that changing for the foreseeable future,'' Hussey told AFP.
"I'm really happy to get an opportunity, but I'm 100 per cent behind them.''
Although he has no long-terms plans to keep the position, Hussey admitted he enjoyed his time as captain.
"I enjoyed trying to come up with new ideas to find a wicket, or how we were going to keep it tight,'' he said.
"I'm also lucky that I had some very experienced cricketers around me to give me some help. I enjoyed watching the way Brian Lara constructed his innings as well, and trying to play some mind-games with him.''
Ponting, however, maintained a presence within the team, often chatting to players in the out-field from beyond the rope, and Hussey said he often needed some advice himself.
"A couple of times when he came on, I was desperate for some help,'' Hussey admitted.
"He's very calm and doesn't worry about too many things.''
