Ever since he burst into the scene with a twin century in Durban in his debut series against South Africa in
2009, when he became the Youngest batsman ever in the history to score a twin ton in a test match,I have been a huge fan of Philip Hughes.
He really looked a class apart,really unorthodox but still attractive to watch and an attacking opener.
He turned into the Bradman himself when playing for Middlesex averaging more than 100 and that too just before the 2009 Ashes.Now the hope was really getting high and he indeed scored a quick fire 36 before being worked out by English quickies.
2 poor performanes and He is gone!
Personally I was dissapointed.
He got a chance in Newzealand in 2010 and chasing 110-ish score,he finished with the score of 87.
Then he got chances again in the Ashes and against my expectation he couldnt convert the starts into a big one,but even guys like Ponting was a failure but as the rule,the rookies like him are made the escapegoat and that term "transitional period"
But again,looking at the recent England form,when they baffled some of the best batsmen in the game including some Indian greats,there's no fingerpointing at young Hughes.Atleast Australia won a match and saved one.
So I think all the criticism against Philip Hughes is unwarranted.Yes,he has some supposed technical flaws,but history has proven time and again that Technical flaws can be negated by other technical advances and Hughes has them.
This guy has a great FC record,in over 5 years career,he averages more than 52 with 17 centuries.
A very attacking opener.
Give him a good run.
I am very happy to see him score a ton against Srilanka.His offside batting,especially his cut and cover-drive are a treat to watch.
And now,the Big South Africa series is coming up,where he began his hopefully great career,here's a hoping that Hughes score some big hundreds.
Btw,he is only 22.
And people need to get off his back.
I see a great cricketer in him.
