3rd Test: India v Australia at Mohali (Punjab) Mar 14-18, 2013

Smith already doubled Failed's score.

Bring back Rob Niney to protect HAH from every bowler to ever lace on a boot.

FMD he is ordinary against spin.

How can he possibly play Test Cricket long term now? Each time he's come back, team's have worked him out far too easily and essentially rendered him useless.

England will probably be his absolute last chance, assuming he's still in contention by then.

He'll do fine in England. England suits his style much more than India. Don't see England bowling about 60 overs of spin a day at Lords.

Hughes' struggles in India have little relevance to how well he'd do in England.

 

[Horrie Is God]

So HAH is hopeless against slow bowlers & fast bowlers..

The Poms will be licking their lips at the prospect of bowling to a player with so many glaring faults..

The Poms have his measure and will aim at his body and get him nicking behind again. He still has NFI how to play behind square (especially with a horizontal bat) and still gets himself in awkward positions when the quicks bowl the right line. Sri Lanka had neither the pace nor the brains to bother him too much.

Either way, Australia can't afford to have a bloke who is utterly inept against a certain style of bowling long-term. FFS, Daryll Cullinan probably has a better average against Warnie than HAH does against spin.

He's not hopeless against quicks anymore. I don't think he has even got out to quicks in this series. And he did fine against Sri Lanka. And he did great in County cricket last season.

England would be one of the best places in the world for his strengths. India one of the worst.

He can't be dropped from the Ashes because of his struggles in India. You couldn't get furher from an Ashes tour if you tried in terms of conditions.

You're a clown. He averaged 46 against a popgun SL attack on flat decks at home which is by no means extraordinary. The English seamers will be praying that he gets picked.

The Thalidomide Kid is showing Failed how it's done.

He averaged about 50 and led his county team in runs last season. I think that has more indication of his abilities in England than anything else.

If he was English there's a good chance he'd have been picked for England based on last seasons county form. So he can definitely make it into our much shitter top order.

Lol..

You are so wrong,so often..

This is Chris Martin's bunny you are referring to..

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Failed is only playing this test because the others didn't do their homework.

Don't go kidding yourself. Failed should have been in Watto's luggage to save CA an airfare back to Australia.

The English seamers will have a field day with Hughes as opposed to the Sri Lanka pie throwers he faced down here

 

[Timbo]

This post shows a lack of understanding of test cricket.

I don't see you criticising Cowan. He is well and truly in and is scoring at a strikerate near enough to single digits these last few overs. Considering Cowan isn't finding it easy here maybe that should excuse Hughes in his very first few overs?

This test is 4 days long. It can't be won here but it can be lost. And if Hughes throws his wicket away like you seem to want him to it will only contribute to a loss.

You are one of the dumbest f**king human beings on the planet.

Hughes was stuck on zero and was desperatly trying to force a run rather than play the balls on their merits. The longer he stayed on zero the worse shots he was playing.

I like Hughes but I hope he gets banished forever just to shut you the f**k up.

 

[mattyg]

Will be very interesting if smith does well here. Lets hope these 2 can stay in. Cowan deserves a century but at this rate smith might beat him to it!

So what you're basically saying is that county runs is more an indication of one's ability in tests than test runs. OK sure....

 

[Canard]

As long as we get England to not bowl spin or seamers against him he will be fine

 

[Horrie Is God]

HAH averages 19 in tests in England..

 

[The Mad Hatter]

The only way Failed will play in England is if they select his Madame Tussaud's wax statue as a fielding substitute.

 

[unbreaK]

Man, I was a big Hughes fan before this series, now I realise how garbage he actually is, I'd probably prefer Steve Smith in the ashes team than him, and that's saying something..

Ashes Team -

1) Cowan
2) Warner
3) Watson
4) Clarke
5) Khawaja
6) S.Smith
7) Haddin
8) Siddle
9) Starc
10) Pattinson
11) Lyon

 

[jargan83]

Hughes scored bucket loads of runs playing county Cricket in 2009 as well

That worked out well didn't it!
