Phil Hughes - When do we drop him?

[umina panther]

With your extensive history of making shit up why should anyone listen to you BM?

 

[BunniesMan]

Because you're an idiot that's why.

Try not to derail the thread. This is a tread about Phillip Hughes. This is not a thread about BunniesMan. If you really want to talk about BunniesMan there are plenty of threads in shittier sections of the forum dedicated to that.

Hughes has a shit technique that is easily exploited by any world-class bowler and until that is fixed he shouldn't be seen in test cricket again.

Remove that first series against South Africa before he was found out and he has 1,120 runs in 23 matches at an average of 27.32 with 1 century. And some people still want him in the team?

but but he was top scorer from all the batsmen in the first ashes test in england, so should be in the side this 1st test :sarcasm:

He has improved his technique. He plays on the on side so much more. He pulls, he sweeps, he uses his feet against spinners. He was destroying Agar. He has improved every part of his game.

Lol. Brilliant against spin, 230 runs at an average of 20.91 in the last 2 series against India and England and dismissed by spin 9 of the 11 times

You really know what you are talking about

Ashton Agar, the guy whose test career as a bowler will be remembered alongside such titans of the game like Peter McIntyre and Gavin Robertson?

Yeah, real triumph there.

Agar is still a former test player. And there's more value in that than Warner cashing in at Bankstown and Bailey proving his credentials in pyjama cricket.

 

[Dutchy]

Hughes is also a former test player.

never to be picked again

He's certainly improved his downcast walk to the pavilion after yet another failure technique.

What that also shows is he has been pretty much bulletproof against quicks. As well as the fact that he scored good scores in 3 of his last 4 tests in some very spin friendly conditions against the best spinners in the world.

:lol::lol::lol:

Sharma got him out FFS, the biggest nuffie in the world. As soon as HAH hits the crease spin bowlers are queuing up to bowl to him, he's a walking wicket.

 

[Meapro Ham]

Why are people even talking about Hughes still? Pretty obvious he won't ever play tests again. The selectors have been bitten too many times and won't go back there again.

Of Australian specialist batsmen to have played more than 20 tests Hughes has one of the very worst averages of all time.

Except he got 40, 60 and 80 in consecutive tests against the Indians and Swann in conditions made for spinners.

And since then he has made noticeable improvements to his technique against spinners. Added to his previous improvements against quicks and he is better than the majority of batsman who will play for us in the 1st test.

Are these the same 3 tests where he also scored 6,1 and 3 when his country needed him gimp?
