Yes he played those test match injured, so you use that as a guide. His recent bowling form in ODIs clealry proves he is ready to go right back into the test XI & take the new-ball with Hilfy.

He is getting the odd injury here & there, but his injury woes aren't of the Bond or Watson level - so i wont put him in the "injury prone" bracket just yet. This recent injury clearly was due to too much cricket too quickly, even Siddle got injured.

4-seamers should always play from now on in tests - since thats the bowling strenght. AUS selectors have wasted enough since WI 08 not doing this.

Not yet. Hussey earned the right keep his place after the Oval hundred. Although if Watson doesn't the most of his time opening soon, Hughes should come right back in.
