This is ridiculous.

Hughes has a great series and people expect him to do that in every series!

He is only 20, let him develop.

I think he'll get 2 centuries (Lord's defo) and maybe a couple of 50's but don't expect something like 4 centuries including a double-century and 3 x 50's cos that wont happen.

I must say the quality of bowling at county level isn't great and the Lord's wicket he scored a century in the CC on was a batting one but the wicket for the test vs the West Indies was very much even, and possibly leaning towards the seamers.

As for Johnson, I think he'll be the leading wicket taker in the series but it's the other bowlers who you need to worry about. Siddle and Hilfenhaus haven't played a test here yet, Clark and Lee are coming off injuries and Hauritz...... er..... nevermind.
