Damn I wanted Birt, knew I should have gone higher. Was expecting I'd have to pay big money for Warner.
Yeah I wanted Warner, but I saw the original bid and I was already strapped for cash. Should've gone in harder for Hughes, he's a gun T20 player.
average doesn't meanas much in t20 as other formats obv. I would only have hughes in my franchise at a really small cost or if there was no one left to choose. blokes like marsh, pomersbach and lumb have showed that a specialist t20 opener is pretty key to having a gun side.
I think Hughes is pretty good in T20 - his game is conducive to scoring runs through the infield even if the bowling's tight. I think securing an opening partner that compliments him is integral. Also stoked to grab Nathan so cheaply.
