By the time he got his helmet back on, he was already sunburnt even though it was overcast

Poor man's Dominic Thornley. Every decent batsman in the Sheffield Shield should be looking for something to bribe, blackmail or threaten their captain with so they can bowl 20 overs an innings of what ever fruit they can manage. Then they'll be allrounders too and the nice Mr Hilditch will fast track them to the No.6 spot in the test team.

Wests Tigers fans = Logic.

I said Thornley was the better player, but noooooo, he's the overrated hack. This guy can't wield the willow, let alone keep his helmet on.

If they can average 50 with the bat and low 20's with the ball then they might get a game

With Hilditch there 50 with the ball and low 20's with bat will be enough to get a look in.

Only his first innings so you can't be to hard on him, hopefully he does something with the ball.

sorry but he is not international standard

sure he can work the ball through mid wicket, but clueless to the short ball and even an inexperienced Morkell worked him out so I dont really care what he does in the second innings

he was even playing Harris very late he couldn't read what he was doing and Harris does jack sh*t with the ball

way to cheapen the baggy green

After his first few balls from Morkel I said to the missus "can you imagine the fun Marshall, Holding and Garner would have had with this lad?" I hope he goes well, because he's in the team now and I support the team, but it's not fair on him or all of the real batsmen out there.

Johnson is our test all rounder

Said it after Test 2, don't see why we are so desperate to find a specialist all-rounder when we have someone like Johnson in the squad. He is technically sound and strikes the ball as sweetly as you can.

Prefer not to move Johnson around and Haddin is very inconsistent for 6. Watson at 6 would be good now since our tail continues to make runs. But until he comes back we should use a batter at 6.

Agreed, our bowling needs more depth, our lower order batsmen and especially Johnson can be relied on for runs

all the batsmen seem to be making runs, more reasons why we dont need an all rounder
