Trevor Hohns Batting Quotations

We are looking to include players who can bat, bowl and field and Hopes fits that bill perfectly. He gives us another all-round option, and can open the batting if required.

It doesn't mean he's finished. Also we'd like him to concentrate on his long-form-of-the-game batting and reignite that partnership that he has with Justin Langer because, after all, in Test match cricket they've been fantastic in being the cornerstone behind a lot of big scores.

We consider it is time to make some adjustments to the batting line-up after some disappointing results in England ?We considered the performance by Damien in England as not up to the standard we require.

Hopes gives us another all-round option, and can open the batting if required. We are confident that he can add a new dimension to our team.

He can fill various positions in the batting order as we've seen. He's opened for Queensland, and he can bat in the middle.
