Great to see Hughes getting some runs but the fact that he didn't ton up after getting a start shows that he still not near his best.
Though I'm really happy to see Blues finally opting for a Hughes-Warner opening combination, its still early days but somewhere down the line I can see these two opening the batting for Australia pretty much across all the three formats.
Warner might not have scored a lot of runs this season but still he seems to be making a genuine effort to break through from that T20 batsman mould, and I think he definitely has got all the tools to do well in the other formats as well.

Warner has been stating for years that he is focusing on improving his game in the longer-format. The problem is he wasn’t quite good enough when NSW gave him a good chance last season. I don't recall his dismissals in the past being the result of flamboyant strokes, it was more due to poor technique in handling line and length bowling.
Today might be a pivotal moment in his career.

Hazzah! I've always liked Jaques. I hope he can keep up this form.

Wasn't a minefield but I wouldn't call it completely flat either.

I think Jaques has missed the boat as far as a test comeback is concerned and that's really sad because he had so much potential and in the end he can only curse his luck, because he barely put a foot wrong in the limited international opportunities he had and yet he was shown the door.

Wasn't he more seriously injured turning into a mere shadow of his former self than he was shown the door?

Tbh... its not the greatest of feats to be the pick of the bowlers when you are bowling along with likes of Cleary, Wright and Holland. Btw... why is Pattinson jr. not playing is he injured again..?
EDIT: What's up with Forrest?? He was considered by some as a test prospect in the making, but was/is he really that good..?

He was unlucky when he was dropped, as he wasn't going that poorly, it was just that Katich was going so well. Since then though he hasn't been able to put forward a case that said "Pick me".
