agree with this... some shots he plays look gorgeous and than the ugliness comes out as well.
I had forgotten how terrible it is to watch Katich dance around the pitch.

But rarely does anyone turn such a factor into an attacking option so early.

Hauritz was getting it to turn big, so Swann turning the ball should hardly come as a surprise.

You're right. We could be looking at the new Chris Gayle

Switched to Fox, just to avoid his crap.

What's going to test him imo is he's going to be learning on the job in test cricket, given he's come into it so young.
I think he'll develop his all-around the wicket game, but we just have to see. He's a precocious talent no doubt.
Kudos to him for playing naturally in a pressure situation. Says something for his temperament.

He made the short leg deal with Katich before the South African series. He's faced the first ball in every innings of test cricket he's ever played. Not sure where your shock is coming from.

Broad was pretty ordinary. It wasn't very intelligent bowling to Hughes anyway. Looking forward to seeing Flintoff after the break, he'll have to bowl really well. I can't really see Swann and Panesar alone being enough, even though it's turning a bit.
Hughes is a fascinating guy to watch. I've never seen any batsman at test level who is so set around playing the ball in a particular area, but he's awesome against anything wide of off. Absolutely dominated Broad's first over.

Think it's a very good move from Strauss to hold Flintoff back until after Lunch. Once Hughes got going and got in, Flintoff's short pitched stuff would be of less impact on him, so holding back until after lunch allows him to get a look in at a less settled and more edgy Hughes.
Smart captaincy.

Why not? One ordinary day from Jonson and everyone was saying the same thing.
