heh, lucky.

But seriously, Watson is really quite poor against spin.

in other news, pope is catholic etc.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So review an lbw he middled and not review a clear caught behind. Smith having a good day.

 

[Top_Cat]

I'd call it Prince-like, but at least he smashes the poor ball

Has to be a pretty rank long-hop, though.

Yeah, Watto has 2 ways of playing spin, awkward prod or smash it.

This is why he must stay opening imo.

Watson opening?

boom

 

[Furball]

Hughes has made his own luck with that one.

And a phenominal follow up shot.

 

[uvelocity]

slasher hughes hits 1000 against the odds with his favourite shot.

followed by a nice one.

 

[Spark]

Hughes has made his own luck with that one.

yeah agreed.

edit: haha that's such a stylish shot, with the flick of the heel and all

 

[Burgey]

Oh what a shot. On the walk with a flourish. That's a stunning shot. Shades of a Roy Fredericks cover drive.

 

[Spark]

You can always tell when Watson goes into slog mode when he has that little wind-up before the bowler releases.

 

[Spikey]

i hope he's hit this

 

[Furball]

Given that I've tended to see Hughes against England, I've never really rated him fairly - I've always thought that a player who's racked up the runs he has at First Class level must have some talent, but I've never really seen it until today. When he gets himself going like he has so far today he looks phenominal.

Watto

Good to see Tahir keeping the hallowed Pakistani tradition of polite, introspective appeals alive.

That pic is never, ever not funny.

In your defence, he's looked rank against England.

EDIT: FFS, this ground is a heart-breaker.

 

[NasserFan207]

I still don't rate Hughes at all. He's played some nice shots on a road here, but he's also been dropped and edged behind. Way too scratchy.

 

[Spikey]

ahaha what a shot.

 

[Spark]

wtf happened there? did everyone forget to chase the ball?

 

[Spark]

They've bowled way too short today though.
