Phil Hughes - When do we drop him?

[madunit]

The people have spoken:



Watson and Warner don't deserve to be in this team ahead of Hughes. All sensible people see it. But LU trolls and CA geniuss do not.

Watson will keep playing where, when and how he wants and never face getting dropped. Warner will keep disrespecting himself, his teammates and his country and he'll keep getting a million chances because he's good at T20.

If Hughes had an uninterrupted run at the top of the order like they have he would have scored so much more than them.

But instead they've killed his test career while giving less deserving players many more chances.

5 people have spoken.

All 3 are not worthy of test selection.

the fact you can see one piece of shit as being a lump of gold compared two equal pieces of shit shows how f**ked in the head you truly are.

the people have spoken, all 5 of them, lol

 

[ceagle]

Hey guys, stop picking on the autistic basement dweller, he doesn't know any better.

 

[JW]

One of the commentators said he had faced 77 balls off Swann for 9 runs (all singles) and 3 dismissals. Good to see that he has worked hard on his weakness against spin from India.

:lol:

Wasn't his record against Ashwin something equally ridiculous (at least)?

HAH is 10 times worse against spin in general than Daryll Cullinan was against Warnie.

 

[BunniesMan]

8ball, he hasn't been dismissed by Swann 3 times. Bullshit stats are bullshit.

 

[JW]

Twice.

So what, he was still useless.

 

[Helmet Man]

I would try Hughes as an opener for the last time ahead of Watson. I just can't believe after all the chances he has got and with the potential that Phil has he still can't do jack in international cricket.

He had 60 consecutive dots in a row against spin in India I believe (don't remember the exact number) with a significant number of dismissals in between, so I guess he's "improved."

The run
In this series, Phillip Hughes has looked about as comfortable against spin as he did against Chris Martin's angling deliveries last summer. Again in this innings, Hughes looked incapable of scoring against the slow bowlers and spent his first 19 deliveries either defending, picking out fielders or missing. Eventually, from his 20th ball he got off the mark by pushing a single through the huge gap at cover off Ravindra Jadeja. It was the first run he had scored against spin in his past 59 balls against India's spinners in this series.

Hughes is young and Watto is old and not producing

I'd say his career is not over yet

 

[umina panther]

Shouldn't of been picked after getting dropped the last time. He needs 3 or so years in shield and county cricket

Who the f**k are those people?

When Phil Hughes was in the team we didn't score 300 in any of our 4 innings this Ashes series and the first innings without him we get to 7/527 declared :lol:

HAHWWW has a chance to do a Damien Martyn or Frankenstein Hayden if he has the mental strength. Martyn got dropped for 6 years, Hayden for 5 or so. Both went back and worked on their games, not for 9 months in the nets but for years playing all sorts of cricket. Hughes needs to be dropped for a long time, it's clear his mental strength and his ability to change his game is not up to test level.

He is clueless against spin, possibly the worst I've ever seen and its not like he's batting against Chucker Murali or Kumble etc.

 

[BDR]

Would rather have Hughes opening than Watson tbh. Had it with that useless merkin. Cancer was the right phrase for sure.

 

[Horrie Is God]

I'm also of the opinion that it's not the end for HAH..

I can see him breaking records..

Like being the first player to be given the arse from the Australian test team 6 times..

Now that would take some breaking..

 

[AlwaysGreen]

He's already got the record for most twitter supporters. 6 and counting.

Wood would have to have the record wouldn't he???? Another average lefty who averaged in the low 30's.

Phillip Joel's fortunes will probably turn around the second BM points his pointer at some other poor bloke. As previously mentioned, hopefully it's Maxderp.

I would as well.

Only problem with punting watson is we likely need to bring in an all rounder.

So Warner would move to opener with Faulkner or henriques coming in.



If Hughes does ever come back though , it must be as an opener. He's not a middle order batsmen's asshole.

I agree with this. He is as good in the middle order as Twatto is up the top.

Watson should be at 6 in this test and Hughes opening. f**k Warner, his shitty attitude doesn't deserve to be there. Watson has an equally shitty attitude but a) he can bowl and b) he won't have referrals to waste at 6.
