Ponting: Stick with Hughes, Warner - chairman - 10-25-2013
Former Australia batsman Ricky Ponting has appealed to the selectors to stick with Phil Hughes and David Warner for the Ashes, and to also keep faith in one set of players for as long as possible.

Yeah fair point. They don't have any better alternatives anyway. They've got to put trust in Hughes as #3 (or opener) now. Despite all his technical deficits.
Warner just hit another big ton, so yeah he can play more or less a Sehwag-esque role for Aus. And he has more composure than Sehwag, temperament wise.
