Only way Hughes will be considered is if selectors haven't seen him bat this season - has looked truly awful in all formats

From The Australian (subscription only)
The squad for South Africa will be announced today and is expected to include 15 players
Bailey has been dropped from the Australian Test team and will not even make the touring squad for the South African series which begins next month
Shaun Marsh will be added to the touring party to make up for the loss of Bailey.
Bailey's absence from the squad opens up a position in the side, which leaves the selectors with a number of options.
Bowling allrounder James Faulkner could slot in at six and provide some back-up to the pacemen who have endured a long summer, or a batsman such as Doolan or Marsh could be included.
The more radical approach could see Shane Watson moved from first drop to sixth and Doolan, Marsh or another specialist batsman take that key position.
The others likely to join the South African squad include bowlers James Pattinson, Jackson Bird and Nathan Coulter-Nile, although one of them will be left behind to play in the Shield games as only injury will stop the same three pacemen playing the first Test in South Africa as played the Ashes summer

Ferguson going to get a gig howard?
Hughes has looked like **** all summer and seems to have regressed if anything
Reckon the Oz selectors will set the bar higher for him than others from now on as there is nothing about his game to inspire confidence that this time will be any different from the past

Marsh to be used as a human shield for him against Sth Africa

Marsh? **** me dead.
Yes I will have to admit there is an outside chance that some ODI form will lead to a joyous revelation of the new 'Good Shaun' like we had with MJ, but you know in your heart of hearts that we're just swapping one severely inadequate red ball player with some ability in the shorter formats for another.
Howard's stats don't even tell half the story. The only runs Marsh has made in the Shield all season were when the **** was hiding down at 5 against a pretty weak Vic attack (McKay, Haberfield, Hastings, Christian) that North, Bancroft and Voges had already slapped around for 3/303 before the useless **** came to the wicket. They were the cheapest of cheap runs.
In a way I do hope he gets picked and they do something funky like put him at three so that Steyn, Philander and Morkel can work him over worse than Zaheer and Yadav did so that we can put this stupid obsession with an obvious fraud to bed once and for all.

Tipping Marsh to make more runs for the series than Rogers if they're both selected for the same amount of games.

Hoping they just leave Watson at first drop at least for this series
Yes he is a frustrating under-achiever sometimes but 345 runs for the just completed Ashes series, with 1 century and two half centuries, on the back of his century at The Oval
is defintely perferable to popping Doolan or Marsh in there against the two best quicks in the world - you'll kill off their careers potentially
The newbie should come in at five or six

Doolan and Hughes should be the ones.
Doolan has a test game, I'm telling you, it has the potential to stand up and numbers don't show that.
