No... Hussey is ████ and should be dropped. Hughes comes back in, Watson goes to 6. Clarke and North move up 1.

Doesn't Hussey golden duck basically at opener show he shouldn't move up? And you don't move an out of form player up the order.
When he was in form. The bloke is in his worst form slump ever, you don't move a bloke to try and see if they can find form especially to opener which isn't something you just suddenly pick up again. He hasn't opened for ages, he optimised his game for the middle order.

One innings, he hasn't bowled yet. Wouldn't be suprised if he pulls a hamstring picking up a ball from 3rd man. Watson isn't a test opener.
Watson is not a test opener.
I repeat, Watson is not a test opener.
But now he has scored a 50 everyone will fall in love with him.
I hate Australian cricket at the moment.
He's got good technique, better than Hughes, and has shown maturity opening ODI's. But I don't rate him at all as a bowler, he should just focus on batting.

Watson`s a bloody star, its not everyday you get to go out 1st ball of the day by Onions. But shame he got 60 odd, it`ll be tougher for good old Hughesy to come back.

Get lost Feelin Blue. Your stupid NSW bias is ridiculous now, oh no, bring back Hughes he is our saviour. Watson has stood up under pressure and hit a quality knock, and yet you are still calling for his head. He TOP SCORED for the Australians and yet you are still wanking over Hughes. How can you count that as a duck you ******, he scored runs under pressure. Sure, Hughes has great potential, but do we want him hitting more ducks? Give the lad time to improve. Yes, one innings does not make Watson a star, but surely you can't still be calling for his head.
Your ridiculous bias towards NSW players has gone beyond funny now. You're turning into a Grade A idiot.

On a side note, blake. Watson is a New South Welshman now.

I don't only support Watson because he played for the Bulls, I am just generally a big supporter of him and I was happy to see that he made runs. It just annoys me how idiots go on thinking they know it all and we should still drop him despite him being the top run scorer in this innings for Australia..

I dislike Watson to be honest with you, but just so you know, i dont think we should drop him no matter how much i dislike him. But i think Hughes should`ve got another chance though, just to get his act together.
