How Many Centuries Will Phil Hughes Score? - Page 14

I think he'll be the long term Aussie opener in all 3 formats unless they find 2 better openers who are specialist T20 players which I doubt.

Anyway, from the highlights on Sussex TV he's not quite as bizzare and outrightly incorrect as Chanderpaul, yet Chanders has a history of making a mockery of english bowling.

A "Jewie" is a fish

Cheers mate - glad you cleared that up for me.

Perhaps consider asking first next time.

Anyway, frey is old news - first showed-up in about March 2007 or summat. Fortunately, as you can see, he's not been what you'd call a regular visitor.

Hence, my somewhat groan response every time you return.

Maybe not this....

But I predict zero with him becoming Flintoffs rabbit against the bouncer. He looked very very ordinary today.

Averages 70 vs Steyn and he'll become Flintoff's rabbit?1?

Gilchrist.

Richard · 01-07-2009, 03:22 PM

Gilchrist never faced Steyn TBF.

Either way, predicable knee-jerk reactions from predictable quarters after Hughes messed-up against one short delivery. Let's wait and see whether he does it regularly, hey?

King Pietersen · 01-07-2009, 03:43 PM

Two. He copped one on the helmet in Harmison's first over.

Top_Cat · 01-07-2009, 05:09 PM

Bradman was said to flinch against the short stuff too. Therefore Hughes = Bradman.

Son Of Coco · 01-07-2009, 07:08 PM

I think it was proven in SA when Steyn and co vowed to get stuck into Hughes with the short stuff that it has to be very good short stuff to cause him any trouble. The same as any other batsman. If he starts getting hit on the helmet against short balls that are two feet outside off-stump he has a problem.
