Steve Waugh is probably right in his comments about Philip Hughes and Andrew Symonds - but it's clear Ye Olde New South Wales selection bias is alive and well.
Let's just hope Hilfenhaus gets a guernsey, so we can see what he can really do.
Waught says that Hughes should get the nod:
“Hughes is ready to go. You just get a sense when a player is right to play for Australia. He scored runs when he needed to under pressure last week at Newcastle. He’s a very focused individual.”
If Jaques misses out, he will do so after scoring a century in his last Test innings. Bit stiff I reckon.
wasn't it Brad Hodge who notched a huge score (200 I think?) - and against South Africa in Perth, ironically - but couldn't keep his Test spot.
Strange days indeed.
I'm boycotting the team until they have at least three (3) Tasmanians.
ReplyDeleteI don't include Ponting as Tasmanian.
of course - he's Chinese, after all.
