1st Test: Australia v Sri Lanka at Hobart Dec 14-18, 2012

[Ozzy]

Just be thankful Australia is playing Sri Lanka in Hobart and not South Africa.

I'm sure we won't play Sri Lanka in South Africa unless it was in a tri-tornament.

GTFO :arrow:

from reports, Hobart will be a seamers deck. Rain forecast first 4 days

Lets see how Hughesy goes.

Id prefer Khawaja on these sorts of decks, has proven it in a couple of digs this year

Not to worry, our gritty, gutsy top order mainstay Shane Watson will save us!

 

[Twizzle]

yes Virginia, there is a Santa Clause

 

[Twizzle]

Once things for certain, for every stroke that Hughes plays in this game, BunniesMan will match him.

for BM

Tim Paine has 95 runs @ 15.83 in the Sheild this year. Do you think he'll ever add to that 1 first class century he has to his name.

Pull your f**ken heads in.

Lets see if Paine was keeping we win the test in Adelaide...dropping Du Plessis was disgraceful...then in Perth plays 2 slog shots and gets out the one in the 2nd innings when we are trying to save a test! Give me Hartley, Paine or Nevill over Scissorhands please!

I feel Sorry for Phil

It?s hard not to hate him when you are the president of his fan club.

In your opinion is Hughes a better batsmen than Michael Clarke?

Of course he isn't a better batsman right now. If I had to pick a bloke to score a 100 tomorrow to save my life of course I'd go with Clarke.

But in my opinion Hughes has more natural talent than any other batsman in Australia. If he gets his technique right, his mental strength right and gets experience I believe he will average well into the 50s at Test level and be the best Australian player of his generation.

100+ tests, 30 + centuries, 50+ average is something I expect of Hughes' career over the next decade.

:lol: :lol:

I fear for BM's health is Phillip Joel scores a triple ton

Not to worry. No woman has ever complained to me about lack of stamina.

 

[Hutty1986]

Lock Hughesy in for a duck tomorrow, probably a first-baller

That post still offered more than anything we have seen from BunniesMong in this thread.

No, they're too busy complaining about lack of size, skill, arousal, firmness.

If Hughes fails again in the next 2 tests,against what Rodney Hogg has described as the worst attack to arrive on our shores,does anyone see him going to India??..

Will the selectors allow him 3 failures without losing their patience with him??..

Or will he end up a Martin Love-like blip on the radar??..

They have to give him till India i think, by picking him they see him as a long term fix and should give him a chance to prove his worth.

He's going to India.

I think so too..

But what if he gets caught in the slips 4 times in a row again??..

Does the equation change then??..

Because there is no coming back from getting the arse 3 times..

I hope none of this happens,but as a betting man i can't afford to rule out the scenario..

His Test form says he'll kill it in his first few Tests,then peter out badly..

As a backpacker.

Get your head out of the sand. You're probably a Khawaja fanboy.

You assume he's the exact same player he was in 2009 and 2011 and that he hasn't changed or improved in any way at all.

He's not going to get caught behind 4 times in a row.

Try to stop deathriding him maybe.

Lol..

Waaay too funny..:lol:

You accusing other people of being a fanboy..:crazy:

Your head is in the sand champ..

His latest Test form says he will more than likely get caught in the slips..especially at Hobart..

I'd rather go off a players form than what you post..

Your opinion doesn't seem to carry much weight around these parts pilgrim..
