Hughes' age works for him well too, as well as the 'wunderkid' status he seems to have assumed in most circles. Michael Clarke II indeed. He is interesting to watch when batting though. He seems to get very low to the ground, and his bat looks a bit too long for him!
Oh true my bad.
Yeah I would pick Hughes too.
True. They are generally blokes with a sniff of selection/development squads these days. Disappointed that we won't see Hughes bat a bit more this season, though I hope he carves up in the U 19 WC...He could potentially worm his way on to an international tour, you never know.
Any idea on when our next Aussie A tour is.
He also needs a haircut and a trip to the dentist.
Andrew Mcdonald and Nick Jewell would be incredibly stiff.
Plays for Dandenong. To be expected.
McDonald - yes.
Can't believe I missed Ronnie. Wish there were more spots TBH! But I don't see Jewell ever playing for Australia in any form of the game, so that's why I haven't included him there. My Aussie A/Development squads would consist of people who I rate a decent chance to become full-time Aussie players in the future.
After Rogers he'd be just about next cab off the rank as an opener.
So much gun talent in this country that there are indeed many very good cricketers who would miss out.
I don't ever see him playing for Australia ever again. Ever. He was one of those "let's just give him a go and see how he goes...if he doesn't...so be it" players in the VB series a couple of years back. He didn't grab his opportunity and I just don't see him troubling any good batsmen.
He never should've played ODI cricket, was never an outstanding OD bowler. Problem is, no room for experimenting in the Test side.
Aiden Blizzard is another one. Certain ODI player for us in the future. Mark Cosgrove too.
