He's played 6 Tests at a average of 56, is the all time leading run scorer for Victoria. Is a better batsmen than Symonds, Watson, McDonald,D.Hussey. Made a fighting 60 odd in his last test when Australia was under the pump. Got out to spin a couple of times in a Indian ODI tournament, he cant play spin was everyones excuse for him not getting picked after that. Got out to a couple of short balls against South Africa in Test cricket and he cant play short bowling was their excuse even though two games earlier ahd made a double ton. There is no doubt he is in our top six batsmen.

I knew he couldn't play spin before the Indian one dayers. It just confirmed what I already knew. When the Bushrangers were playing the Blues in a Franger cup match a few years ago Hodge came to the crease and Katich threw the ball to Hauritz and it was bye bye Bradley. It's not an excuse, it is a well known flaw. And no way is Nick Hodge a better bat than D Hussey IMO.

If hodge cant play spin then it just shows how bad Australia's spin bowling stocks have been in the past 15 years. Here is a guy that has made more runs than any other Victorian at shield level, yet the way REB makes it sound is if u bring on any spin bowler Hodge will be on his way to the pavillion next ball, what a joke, he plays spin better than Ponting and he's captain and the best batsmen in the world.
