Sheffield Shield - NSW vs WA

[eddiesmith]

Surely Dougy gets a Perth test gig on Dec 16? Particularly if Siddle fails in Adelaide

Hauritz could miss out in Perth after the spinners were so ineffective last year

103 to win, a 50no to hughes would be nice

Quack Quack Quack Quack

Another duck at the WACA for Hughes, really hates it there with 58 of his 62 career runs coming in 1 innings

You really are a wanker, you're boy Rogers also got a quacker. Quack,quack,quack :roll:

 

[aussies1st]

He scored runs in the 1st innings.

Hughes not pushing his claims one single bit.

Don't become a Hughes basher mate it ain't going to stop him being selecet as opener as soon as he bangs the door down. It will be interesting to see what happens though now Hussey has scored a few runs. With any luck he gets a succesion of ducks so Hughes come in for the tests against the pakis.

 

[lockyno1]

I would actually prefer Jaques as opener, Hussey out, Watson at 4. That to me is a perfect lineup. Jaques has less technical issues when opening!

Hughes is a much better player though... Technique means SFA tbh, just look at Brian Lara or Shiv Chanderpaul.

First time in his last 6 first class matches that Rogers hasnt scored a century, but no he didnt score a duck, still better than Hughes in his worst innings for a long time :lol:

But he wasnt playing a game that was supposed to show he isnt just a flat track bully, failed yet again. Its no coincidence at all that Hughes has a sh*t record on the WACA

Keep knocking the kid, he's got 12 years on Rogers. If Hughes was a Victorian you'd be screaming blue Murder.

Long term maybe but the way I see it Jaques is the better replacement right now. Hughes can come in in 12-18 months for Katich who is only a stop gap option himself.

If Hughes was a Victorian he wouldnt have an average as high, he would never have played test cricket and he wouldnt even be mentioned by the media

It definately helps a batsmans average to play 2/3s of their cricket on the SCG

But you keep saying oh hes a kid, dont knock him, yet then say he should be playing test cricket, you cant have it both ways. Either he is the best opener in the land who should be open to criticism or he is a kid learning the game and shouldnt be playing test cricket

Hughes got his chance in SA and took it with both hands, he deserved a bit longer run.
Now it looks like he is doubting what got him selected in the first place.

You could say Rogers was unlucky not to get the gig but he doesn't seem a fit for Ponting Manlub, it's not Hughes fault he got the gig ahead of Rogers but you are deathriding Hughes every chance you get. Typical insular Victorian.

Hughes is the most overrated player to ever play, he was rushed into the team because he was NSWs new young star and the selectors caved to the media as they always do. He was thrown into their 2 biggest series on the back of a short first class career where he was never really tested due to playing most games on the SCG and somehow avoiding all the tough away trips

Sure they could have left him in to see his average plummet throughout the rest of the Ashes, then see him fail to cash in against a weak Windies outfit as 2 of the tests are at grounds he cant score runs on, then his average would probably be down near White and McDonalds :lol:

Fact is he isnt ready, of course they would have been better off with Rogers, he has the experience, wouldnt be set back by being dropped and found out because he isnt a young kid and he has played alot of cricket in England

The funny thing about it all is there was uproar apparently in England for teams letting the Aussie players acclimatise early in the season yet had Hughes not gone to Middlesex he probably wouldnt have been found out and may have cashed in especially as Anderson usually bowls sh*t right where he wants it

People need to realise that yes he is a kid, so let him get better at first class level, let him get some experience in different conditions, the test side is not supposed to be for kids who are learning the game

 

[Mr Angry]

Hughes is the most overrated player to ever play,

Yes an average of 60 in domestic cricket. Played 5 tests against the best the world (RSA) has to offer and 2 100's. Clearly over rated.

Not knocking Rogers fine player.

But Hughes needs to be playing against the best.

 

[eddiesmith]

I feel looking at his domestic record he needs to play against the best Australia has to offer first and the different conditions around the country

Yes he did end up doing very well against South Africa, got quite lucky though that they must be run by idiots, had him trouble early in the series then went down a different path

Dougy just killed hogan

I was down there yesterday and it was vicious, dropped him like a sack of spuds.

Great bowling from Bollinger though, surely has to be putting the blowtorch to Siddle
