Mate i agree with you im not a fan of his and Hughes at all, he has been given a saloon ride into the Aussie side and he has not consistantly performed when it has counted, BUT i can't see anyone in a better position who has as much experience...
Langer has been helping him.... If you can remember Keppler Wessels when he came on the scene he was scoring like a machine then the windies worked him out, granted he came back i don't see the same steel in Hughes, we would be better putting in S.Marsh...
Didn't the windies attack of that era work everybody out! There isn't a pace attack as close to that in world cricket these days
I don't know what it is about SMarsh maybe hes rubbed someone up the wrong way in the heirachy, like many others before him...

YEAH I agree Ponting will stick around max 2 years, drop down the batting order as well, then hopefully within that time frame someone stands up....
also while we are at it, im not sure about Khawaja, has hardly played any state cricket and has been elevated into the side, sure he has scored some runs, but no experience....
All this talk about the short ball to Hughes and how it wil get him out. Not once has he got out to the short ball. He has been getting out to good bals and Watson.

Well one thing wrong is they have not picked players on merit, some players have been scoring big runs year after year and don't get picked, Hussey, Hodge, Klinger to name a few, then you get some one like Khawaja, Clarke, Hughes, score a few runs elevated straight into the side...
Also the selectors need to be accountable as well Hilditch seems like a twat...
I agree walshy, I know you may be just a little bit biased, but too much pressure was put on him after SA, the next bradman blah blah! He just needs to get his confidence back up and I reckon he should be opening with Hussey with watson at 3... didn't hussey start as an opener???
typical comments from a 29 year old don't you know the reflexes slow down as you get older
Is that in regards to Hussey? Damn some of the situations he has come into this summer and other times, its like he's bloody opening anyways!!!
yes it was, every time he made a big score he came in against a relatively used ball and by the time they took the new ball his eye was in, when he came in against a relatively new ball he didnt fare so well
Also another issue is we are breeding t20 players who think that we have to score 6 runs an over in a test match they have no patience to play out a maiden over, seriously look at our players besides Hussey and a few others they would struggle to bat 1 0r 2 sessions straight
