Khawaja has yet to play a single test match on this tour, how exactly could he contribute?

Hughes still can't play spin.
Wade still can't catch.
Mitch still sprays it everywhere.
No Show still promises everything and delivers nothing.

3 of the 4 on homework detention got picked today.
Khawaja not being selected is a right farce, and I'm not a Khawaja or Australian cricket fan by any stretch.

Khawaja is exactly the issue- he hasn't got the runs this season, 1 Hundred should not get you a test cap and it shows how poor he is at rotating the strike. He is a 0 or 4 player and you don't get top many 4 Balls attest level.

Hughes may be poor but the last innings and today he has shown he is working on it. Wade is still better than haddin who is just as bad but years older. I hate Johnson but have a look at his record in India and the big show is a better alternative than henriques on this pitch

Some of you people are truly pathetic. In the last 2 innings Phil Hughes has scored something like 70% of our runs while hes been in. He was the only person to get a start in the last innings. Carrying our top order here. And so many of you want him to fail simply so you don't get proven wrong.

if you had a lobotomy Locky, it would be an improvement on your current level of brain function

Phil Hughes 31 off 35, 7 fours... which is exactly what you just described.

That statistic is completely meaningless as Cowan and Hughes are different styles of players. I don't think Phil Hughes is terrible overall, he's a terrible player of spin and as a whole just very very average at this level. Nowhere near the prodigy you believe.

Stubborn fool. If he gets a 50 here that will be 2 in a row against quality spin in very tough conditions. But he's shit and should be replaced by someone averageing 40 at Shield level.

You'd have to go back to the 1970 (i think) series against Sth Africa, when we got dicked by big margins in all 4 tests
To be fair that was one of the greatest sides ever assembled. This by Indian standards is pretty average.

What really annoys me is there will be page after page of drivel whenever Hughes doesn't do well because you all have your favourites youd rather have in the team but when he does well not a SINGLE world.

Khawaja isn't even averaging 40 at shield level this year. If he was averaging 60 then sure, until then Hughes stays

These two doing a good job, 350 will be as good score on this pitch. we just need someone to go one and get a 100.

Cracking shot by HAH.

HAH lucky to survive that, even 300 may do on this. Don't forget we have super Mitchy and the Show playing.

I don't think it has been a great innings but he showed all through the summer he rotates the strike well

When did he ever show that? In the ODI's he'd get to 50 in about 80 balls and make up the rest with slogging. He got the runs and credit for that but he definitely can't rotate strike.

Two 50's in seven innings is still poor no matter how you look at it.

Hughes gone, that one that cracked him really shook him up. Once again we can't go on after a start.
