also that's how we should have countered bodyline

The last time I saw someone lose their bat whilst playing a shot was in like U13s.

I remember Kapugedera doing it in the World T20. First time I've seen someone lose a wicket doing it, or a batsman as good as Ponting.

Happened to me at the club piss up day a few years back, played in pouring rain.

Your feet, Clarke, your feet!

 

[Ruckus]

Is Ponting's finger still affecting him? Maybe his grip on the bat isn't completely solid yet.

 

[Prince EWS]

Your feet, Clarke, your feet!

Yeah, he batted like this throughout his entire first innings as well and eventually got out doing it. Don't know why; it's not his go.

Much better shots just now.

 

[Spark]

Better.

 

[Jayzamann]

Would love to see Clarke get to 5000 this summer. The way he's going it's p much a surety.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Bloody hell. Leave the house for a couple of hours and this happens.

Fantastic to see Lyon start so well.

would have thought spin from both ends while clarke is in and you're trying to get them out asap isn't the wisest move......cue wickets

Herath caused some issues tbf.

knowing hughes' luck he'll slam a sweep into short leg's foot and get caught by leg slip

You play those regularly?

bowl hit the top part of his bat and that somehow made him lose control of it...

shouldn't have played the same shot twice after not playing it well the first time!

seriously, batsmen have become so ill-disciplined.
so many rash shots/dismissals today...

 

[Jayzamann]

Love seeing anyone bat like this. Not just muddling around, spraying the odd run and looking like a walking wicket.

Most of his dismisals in test cricket have been pretty standard tbf. Just hasn't performed yet like we know he can. Hopefully today will be his day.

 

[Spark]

Fair enough this. Good batting from these two, two smart shots by Hughes.

Danish Kaneria's caught and bowled still comes to mind everytime Hughes comes into bat tbh

 

[Jayzamann]

10 point plays, love em.

Not Hughes' biggest fan but always good to see that.
