Michael hussey needs to be persisted with.

I think he has cricket and plenty of runs left in him for Tests.

Burgey, I kind of agree with you, but feel that if Hughes out performs Jaques in the upcoming Shield Match against Tasmania, Hughes will come in for sure. If Jaques dominates and Hughes does little, it'll be very interesting who the selectors decide to pick. There is always Rogers too.

How can they drop players who have done well recently for someone who was dropped, even if he makes more runs in a domestic match than they do?

I think at full strength and fitness Australia should definitely go with Hughes, Jaques and Katich in the same team, pick quality, not positions. Don't know where they should bat but all should at least be in the team. One example:
Katich
Jaques
Ponting
Hussey
Clarke
Hughes
Haddin
So when Katich retires, Hughes can slot up top and someone else such as Watson can come in there. As long as North or MickeyD is not there it's all good.
Hodge or David would've been alright at 6 in days gone by but whatever.

Brad Hodge says hi.

I dont think he really has a problem with the short ball TBH. I just think he found Flintoff uncomfortable, since in SA vs Steyn & co on some faster pitches he handled the short ball VERY well.

I don't think the South African bowlers bowled too many short good balls to him, despite getting out for a duck on debut playing a poor shot against a very short ball.
Hughes needs to get bat onto ball a lot, I don't think he has a glaring weakness against the short ball but with his awkward technique it doesn't look he's in so much control.

Ashley Noffke would probably have a word or two to say as well.

You're kidding right? May yet prove to be the case, but Hodge has him covered by SO far for now it's not worth talking about.

There are a couple of problems with that team '24. Somehow two guys who are NOT NSW players have snuck in. Surely you'd prefer:
Hughes
Jaques
Katich
Clarke
Watson (it's ok to like him now, he's a Bluebagger)
some other Sydney random
Haddin
Lee
Bracken
Clark
Bollinger

I hear that Stephen Smith is getting big wraps as a spin bowling allrounder.
Filthy bluebaggers who get your baggy greens with your baggy blue.
