but but... ive taken a mortgage on Hughes making a big ton, was that a lie too, im so sad now

Don't worry that bit was spot on.

you now what,

I agree with you, he is due for a biggie, should get his 100 well before the 40th over IMO. Set us up for a great win too

Go Phil

0/50 - 10 overs

HAH 30no

Hughes and Finch. This has the potential to be a long term opening partnership. Left/right combo. Finch coming from his T20 background, Hughes from his first class background, they both bring different strengths to the table. They can be good together.

Two things I've noticed about Hughes today: he has brought a decent pull shot into his arsenal and he is already using his feet against Ashwin. Did almost none of that in the tests in India and England. Genuinely different look to him.

Hughes dropped, a sitter. indians trying to keep him in.

 

[BunniesMan]

Hughes with a life. You create your own luck when you go hard instead of being tentative.

They've got through the tough period without losing any wickets and scoring quite quickly. Fielders pushed back now, we can accumulate at 5 an over and launch with 15 overs to go and plenty of wickets in hand.

If we don't lose our heads 300 is doable.

 

[TheParraboy]

0/79 - 14 overs

On track for a big 325 plus

 

[BunniesMan]

These games by themselves are pretty irrelevant but selectors are on record saying they count ODI form when deciding on test teams.

Warner can't buy a run in the bloody Ryobi cup, if Hughes does well in this series it could get him an Ashes test. Even if nothing else this series matters for its influence on Ashes selection.

And Finch brings up his 50 in 54 balls

 

[TheParraboy]

0/100

17.1 overs

HAH 44
Finch 54

 

[BunniesMan]

Hughes out for a very well made 47. Set a brilliant platform.

 

[hineyrulz]

Spinner bowling to HAH = dismissal.

Go do the washing up and come back to HAH and Twatto failing....some things never change

2/118

20.4 overs

We still have the big show to come, india beware

 

[BunniesMan]

Go do the washing up and come back to HAH and Twatto failing....some things never change

47 at almost run a ball is failing? It was a good dig.

Thanks to you merkinface I've lost my house.

47 at almost run a ball is failing? It was a good dig.

Throwing way a good start is, same as Finch. 300 will be needed with our attack IMO.

 

[TheParraboy]

3/146

27.1 overs

Finch out 72

 

[Mig2006]

It's not junior cricket anymore - 47 is a failure getting out the way he did. Also, Twatson and Finch getting out to Yuvraj is criminal - the guy is a dead set pie thrower....

 

[BunniesMan]

Collapse is on
