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.
I just like the fact he's plainly worked so hard on his technique. He's nowhere the finished article by any stretch, but we need him to kick on. At 22, he's a top prospect.

Getting runs for evasive action when the number of bouncers per over is limited is perhaps the daftest rule in cricket
Valid point IMO.


Anyway, I thought Australia were meant to have lost this at lunch yesterday?

Nice aggressive stuff from Oz but the SA bowlers just haven't been consistent enough in the lines and lengths they've bowled.

The thing about Hughes I like the most is his character. In his last SA tour he was called "the smiling assassin". Because good shot or good ball he just smiles a lot and brings his best for the next ball. A poor technique or bowlers having worked him out is not going to phase him.

Just bet on the draw. With rain supposedly about on the weekend and I can't see SA capitulating twice against this bowling attack on this deck.
