For those not watching you know how Hughes got out.

Cheers, I thought as much.

I'd actually really admire the testicular fortitude it would take to select him for Boxing Day. In a perverse sort of way.

 

[robelinda]

Well I would like to see Ponting, obviously, Warner has done enough in these two tests, or at least not worse than Hughes to retain his spot. So does Marsh come in at 3, and Usman is dropped too? Seems like the likely scenario.

 

[TumTum]

Why do we have so many left handers...

 

[Sylvester]

Martin found his radar again.

 

[Nate]

Warner
Marsh
Watson
Ponting
Clarke
Hussey
Haddin (Nev)

possibleh

EDIT: No talking about Boxing Day this series is everythingggggg

 

[BoyBrumby]

Khawaja hasn't done nearly enough to displace him to my way of thinking.

Assuming Watson and Marsh come back in, I'd be leaving Hughes and Khawaja out.

Optimistic shout there; just the six inches outside leg.

 

[Jarquis]

Oh deary me Hughes

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Hughes has to go, simply not good enough. Doesn't learn from the mistake he keeps making.

Seems sensible. Straight swap: Watson, Marsh for Hughes, Khawaja respectively.

 

[howardj]

Happy to see him gone.

I never got passed that shot with him at the Mundine fight looking oh so cool, and then the "take the cash" comment.

Bad egg.

I don't know...you just get a feeling about some people.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Now the straight one Doug.
EDIT: and he does! Unlucky.

 

[robelinda]

Yep, i doubt Watson won't open, its his spot if he wants it. Doesn't mean it should be his spot....

 

[Spark]

No third slip (y)

 

[SteveNZ]

****.

 

[Sylvester]

Dodgy way to bring it up but obviously was nervous about his 50.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Oooo. Streaky. Flies through the vacant third slip area and away to the boundary.

Maiden test 50 for the young fella. Played.

 

[Howe_zat]

No third slip (y)

Ahhhhh, there we go.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

If only Martin knew how to bowl an outswinger, he'd be truly unstoppable.

 

[hazsa19]

Both of those back lifts are terrible

 

[BoyBrumby]

Not sure I'd be holding Khawaja up as an example of what Hughes should've been doing. He's not exactly textbook himself, is he?
