Yes I’ve said it. The Australian cricket team has been ‘hanged, drawn and quartered’ all right. Who, in anyone’s right mind, can give Phil Hughes another chance after having a terrible Ashes tour?
After a couple of poor Tests, he had another failure yesterday, in Colombo, when he got a duck.
And what happens after Usman Kawaja scores 37 odd on debut? He gets dropped for the third Test match against Sri Lanka.
These so-called cricket experts must not be watching the games. Or, “Oh that chap looks good, well put him in the national cricket side,” is the sort of stuff, I think, these people think of.
I don’t know who all these selectors are, but I think there is a New South Welshman, Michael Clarke, who had all that trouble with Lara Bingle. He doesn’t get dropped, despite all that bad form he had in the Ashes tour.
If Ponting had some serious batting problems the selectors wouldn’t give him a second look.
Phil Hughes as well, you know. I haven’t seen that boy go past thirty-five runs. And yet, he is still in the side, and believe it or not he was born in New South Wales.
Now I’m not trying to attack NSW or anything, I’m just saying that they love themselves too much, and of course it is the Australian team we’re talking about, so shouldn’t everyone get a fair go?
Anyway, I suppose it is just the way it goes.
