Thilan Samaraweera was also a solid batsman from SL.

The answer here is probably Sir Geoffrey, a very limited but perfect technique that allowed him to score against the mighty windies bowling as an opener at age 40+, as an opener in England no less, I don't think anyone has a feat that potent in comparision.

Don't know about Michael Hussey average but he seem to be the man with perfect technique
