I don't think he needs your help tbh.

Didn't he just average over 100 through the last county season?.....

Haha whilst I think it is possible he may struggle in England, the **** Hughes cops is getting ridiculous now. He's so young, has made test runs before, and he has been given pretty short runs in the Australian team which have not helped.

I'm not his biggest fan, and lol'ed hard when Martin/Guptil were owning him, but nevertheless he is unfairly maligned.

On top of that, wasn't he dropped in the 09 Ashes because of his dismissals against short bowling, not outside off poking?

Only tomorrow is the weather forecast crap

That, and Mitchell Johnson was bowling tripe.

Haha, exactly. Scapegoat. Though Watson has obviously done reasonably well since.

The good luck in England bull**** is just that.

Bellerive in it's current state, weather and all, is exactly like English conditions.

Hughes is in hot form, he could dominate in India if his form continues.

I quite liked Moody's commentary in Perth

Noble One · 13-12-2012, 05:43 PM

Serious no-ball issues this morning.

Treating the practise game like a net session must contribute.

Spark · 13-12-2012, 05:43 PM

Who's this on comms on ABC?

BoyBrumby · 13-12-2012, 05:55 PM

Have to say it's a seriously gorgeous green oval, this Hobart. Lot of nitrates used there, I'm thinking.

Beautiful looking surface tho.

howardj · 13-12-2012, 05:57 PM

Doesn't seem Rich has made the trip

Too cold maybe

morgieb · 13-12-2012, 05:58 PM

If I were 83 I wouldn't make the trip to Hobart either.

Dunno, but he's already said Hughes' technique hasn't changed.

Obviously hasn't seen the TV split screens.

Huh. Complete pie from Welly first up.
