Hughes or Watson to open next Test against New Zealand?

Question

Phillip Hughes’ swashbuckling 86 not out was the knock that sealed Australia’s 10-wicket victory over New Zealand at Wellington. But if Shane Watson is fit for the second Test of the series, should Hughes make way for the regular opener?

Answer 1

It’s a much needed innings for Hughes and it would be a tough call to drop the opener for the second Test but you’d have to take a fit Watson every time based on his form over the Australian summer.
