**Official** Australian Domestic Season 2013/14

[Spikey]

Phil Hughes tactically runs himself out

 

[Riggins]

the only way the prince was getting out.

 

[TimAngas]

Who's commentating the Adelaide Oval stream?

Alex Ross and Elliot Opie?

 

[Riggins]

lawford out to slog could be interesting.

 

[Spikey]

i assume so

Over 24.5: Abbott to Moller, no run, OUT, yorker, angling in striking him on the foot and Abbott gets his revenge! That looked to be hitting middle & leg as long as no bat was involved

Alex Ross and Elliot Opie?

yes.

 

[Prince EWS]

Had a great pie at the spike bar at the Aus golf club for lunch today with a glass of Sav Blanc.

Wtf Burge? Everyone knows pies go best with red.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah I know but it was Piero LTC

Stat of the Day,

Phil Hughes now has 22 First Class hundreds before his 25th birthday.

The only Australians to have scored more are GS Chappell, ME Waugh, RT Ponting and DG Bradman

*that I've found after checking all Australians with 50 or more FC tons.

 

[adub]

Over 145.1: Duffield to Head, no run, OUT, short, aims a cut and gets an under edge, disappointment as he has to go for 98 - SA 3/473

And young Trav will need to stop choking if he wants to challenge the Prince's record

the other day i tired to work out ricky ponting's stats when he was 24years and 230 odd days old (the age hughes was at the completion of his most recent test) and they had pretty much the same stats

Ponting up to his 25th birthday:
106 matches
7848 runs @ 51.3
26 hundreds
34 50s

Phil Hughes (two weeks shy of his 25th)
103 matches
8084 runs @ 45.4
22 hundreds
43 50s

(could potentially have up to another 4 digs before his 25th birthday to pile up some more runs)

Ponting had a strong finish to his 24th year in the test arena. Doubled or tripled his hundreds count iirc. Obviously if Hughes hadn't been dropped he would be on track to do the same

 

[adub]

SA lead by 86 and have given themselves an outside chance of get up a 150 plus lead and going for full points tomorrow.

 

[ajdude]

travis head's never gonna get a fc ton

[Spikey]

qld need the batting talents of aaron finch imo

Had a great pie at the spike bar at the Aus golf club for lunch today with a glass of Sav Blanc. It was such a definitively good pie I've named it the Michael Beer.

Cant believe that they let you in

Badge of honour for my club that we repeatedly rejected Bob Hawke's membership application

Having seen Bailey's first dig against Qld and his knock today, I seriously question as to whether he is one of the top 6 middle order batsmen in Oz

 

[Riggins]

I'd argue they think he's a top 4 middle order batsman.
