Frankly speaking its just sad to see the kind of stick Hughes copes whenever he fails, he is sailing on the same boat like all other batsmen, yet he is the one who is always under the spotlight whenever he fails.

He has basically opened the batting all his life and now in very tough conditions he is being asked to start his innings against spin which he clearly isn't used to doing, makes you wonder what these selectors were thinking while picking 5 openers in one squad.

Which other batsman can be given a go instead of the likes of Hughes/Cowan in Australia right now ?

i reckon smith would go alright against the spinners but khawaja probably deserves a shot apart from that theres not much probably bailey, maddinson, burns, doolan. then theres the guys who have been blacklisted by selectors like rogers and cosgrove
