He is a quick-scoring, bat against poor bowling, and if he can develop a defence to enable him to cope with good length stuff for the first few overs he might be very useful, as I have seen him bowl quite dangerously. Apart from a couple of atrocious mishits, to third-man, which carried the field safely, Owen Hughes played an excellent innings and he may be regarded as a certainty for a place. Bowker bowled well for a short spell, and He is always liable to got some runs.
