That 126 was on an absolute road though. Look at the scores from that match. Australia 316 (Hussey 118, Marsh 81) & 488 (Hughes 126, Clarke 112, Huussey 93) drew Sri Lanka 473 (Mathews 103*, Dilshan 83, Sangakkara 79) & 0/7.
When it comes to pitches that aren't a highway he crumbles and makes shocking scores.

Also don't get me wrong, I hope Hughes becomes an awesome batsmen so Australia has an awesome opener. But at this stage he looks like cow dung.

Very very lucky to get away with that. Now he just needs to use his lifeline.
And Andrew Hildich's wife was my grade two teacher at Stella Maris in Adelaide... I knew what a MILF was before I could even crack a boner (well I don't remember cracking boners back then)
i think khawaja shows really good patience, i think he just needs more time. hughes on the other hand has had plenty of chances and still keeps making the same mistakes, almost as if he isnt learning by them at all. he has had twice as many chances as most others get so its time to try a new tactic.

aussies on the ropes now, and struggling! if they win this it will be by falling over the line. will be a nervous session after lunch.
Martin is just bowling well. How are you ment to play a ball that pitches outside leg and swings outside off? Being a left hander myself I see how Hughes can keep going out like this there is no harder ball to play being a leftie. And as i'm typing Warner moves to 98.

Great batting by Warner, Great bowling by Bracewell a good win for the black caps but most importantly my $20 i put on them to win on Thursday is now $160 odd dollars 
WHOOP WHOOP
Still not conviced with the current black caps squad at all but will take the win

Interesting how Michael Clarke pays tribute to Dave Warner and James Pattinson, but doesn't give ANY credit to NZ. Hate Michael Clarke, love Doug Bracewell!
Definitely not convinced with Reece Young, there are keepers in first class cricket averaging over 45 and yet Young is in the team whilst averaging 30 in 1st class cricket. I still think we need James Franklin in the squad.

Agreed about Clarke - and Warner (who was excellent ) gets MOM - Please..............
Bracewell gets 6-26 in 9 overs including the winning wicket - and 9-60 in the match and he doesn't get it??
That's as bad as Lockyer getting MOM in the rugby league final when we won 34-20 and Lockyer let in 2 tries!!!

I believe our squad needs to be completely changed, to something like this;
1 - David Warner
2 - Ed Cowan
3 - Shaun Marsh
4 - Usman Khawaja
5 - Michael Clarke (c)
6 - Shane Watson
7 - Tim Paine
8 - Luke Butterworth
9 - James Pattinson
10 - Pat Cummins
11 - Nathan Lyon
Other considerations: Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc, James Faulkner, Dan Christian, Matthew Wade,

Khawaja out scored every batsmen in total this game except for Warner.
