He's definately the bowling allrounder now with Agar in the side

We've gone from the spectacle of a 19 year old debutant no 11 nearly scoring a maiden ashes ton at nearly a run a ball to stolid upper order batting with a strike rate of less than 40 in the space of a few hours. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

The news of Martin's retirement was just the shot of confidence he needed, imo.

A flight to Dublin and a few pints in the Porterhouse Temple Bar. Naturally I shall make sure they have the cricket on.

He justified why the other bowlers were batting ahead of him but what about the other seven?

It was awesome but we bowled some turd at him too and I reckon you'd swap him for a more penetrating spinner any day.

Given Australia's batting is worse than NZ's ATM I don't think they care too much if this kid can bowl or not

He bowled well I thought, not every finger spinner can be like Swann I'm afraid
Expressway76
U19 Vice-Captain
Yeah he wasn't too shabby but I didn't mean he was poor just that you need a wicket taker not a containment spinner. Tbf, he's just a young un and most spinners take years to mature.

I thought he was ok - and on a turning wicket he might prove to be a handful. Not a front-line spinner at the moment but he's only 19 with his whole career in front of him. I'm willing to bet he becomes a main-line batsman though.

Hardly an opposition to DRS is it

I thought Agar bowled very good today. He"ll bowl a lot worse than that and take wickets.I"m impress by what I"ve seen from Agar.Certainly the most talented spinner since Warne.Spun the ball quite abit today.He is only 19 so he isn"t the finish article but watching Agar bowl is like watching Daniel Vettori.Certainly we have an all rounder in the making.

Waking up to Agar: biggest bailout since the EU on Greece.

1. Agar was out stumped for sure
2. Gutted for him
Been a fan since PEWS chose to become a huge Ashton Turner fanboy.
3. Thought Trott smashed his LBW but I've not seen snicko so probably wrong about that one
4. How does Agar get sooooo much turn and bounce from his seam position at times? It's all over the shop and rags.
5. I love the Ashes

She also asked me if I would support Australia if I was Australian. She looked a tad concerned when I told her that actually, if I was Australian I would drown myself
She doesn't actually understand cricket yet, mind. No Burgeinho, evidently.
