Hughes goes to 99 with a 6

 

[DragonPunk]

A Maiden century to Hughes...and done with a six...woo hoo go the blue baggers.

 

[El Diablo]

Hughes gets his first century with a 6

Hughes 105 not out, what a gun

against supposedly the new no1 side in the world ;-)

Hope he goes on with it and gets 350

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

Well done to the young fella. Brilliant innings so far.

Hughes you superstar two sixes to bring up his 100, amazing!

 

[Red Bear]

what a star, 20 years old and dominating the best bowling attack in the world.

 

[El Diablo]

Amla drops Katich

What the hell is happening here? Been watching something else and then see the score, this sounds like some great batting, I take it the pitch isnt the lively pitch expected or just a combo of bad bowling and good batting?

 

[attila_the_gorilla]

sounds like SA are in for an absolute walloping again.

 

[TheParraboy]

gee we are going for the runs, but the bowling is all over the place which is helping

Gee he has great confidence in himself, could well be our own Tendulkar/Lara.

It is a real slow pitch similar to those you find in India. Keeping low right now, cracks around but absolutely no seam movement or swing. We just got to hope we have totally screwed SA confidence as this will be a real test for our bowlers.

Cheers, sounds like they could use a spinner then although Macca could be handy if keeping low and he keeps it straight

Is this just good batting by Hughes and Katich or is it ordinary bowling by South Africa? Or both?

 

[dubopov]

Congratulations to Hughes .. despite the sh*t bowling he has still done well.

Special mention to Harris .. Is he the new Cronje ?? Betting on opponents to win and/or get centuries off his bowling. First Johnson canes the f**k out of him. now Hughes.

SA are all over the shop

no one is really bowling tight, too much wide or full deliveries, Hughes in partiular is not holding back on those

wicket no doin much either, so important to be tight, which they are not

btw mate did the tahs win?
