What is this HAH abbreviation for Phil Hughes come from?

Funny/comical batsman and lol at BunniesDerp

 

[Pete Cash]

We copped a couple of "umpires calls" in the English summer. Swings and roundabouts tommy

 

[BunniesMan]

I've always thought the umpires call decisions are rubbish. How can the exact same delivery have two possible outcomes. If you don't trust the technology to make that sort of decision then don't f**king use it at all.

But Rogers was due some good luck after that shocking full toss LBW in England.

It stands for Heavy Artillery Hughes. At one point in a match ages ago our openers were batting and I said the next 3 batsmen in (Hughes, Clarke and Watson I think) were our Heavy Artillery. People haven't let it go.

 

[Pete Cash]

Hawkeye isn't perfect so it's to reflect that but I don't think it should cost the side a review. It's unfair that England lose one for what is in effect a correction for the MoE in the technology.

Completely disagree. The system is there to remove howlers not to overturn 50/50 decisions. If you are punting on a close lbw you deserve to lose a review on stupidity

Watson in the nervous 30's.

Shot by Rogers.

 

[Timbo]

Has anyone worked out why Ben Stokes is playing yet?

 

[Timbo]

...I ask and it is answered.

 

[lockyno1]

I guess because Bresnan isn't match fit

 

[hineyrulz]

Stokes on, not sure why they took Swann of he was really troubling rogers.

 

[Timbo]

I guess because Bresnan isn't match fit

I was referring to the fact he hadn't been used.

 

[hineyrulz]

Gee that looked pretty friendly.

 

[Pete Cash]

This is an abysmal pitch so far. So boring.

And people wonder why we hate Adelaide lol

 

[Xfactor1979]

Stokes does bowl it at 139-140
Possible from exuberance of youth, he wouldn't be bowling it 10-15kph slower

 

[Hutty1986]

Hope these two can put on a big stand here

Yeah, it's already screaming 1000 run draw which is what everyone has been saying.

Hobart would have been a better option.

Well that was a silly thing to say wasn't it.
