This whole "a Pakistnai should have got a ton" goes against everything every batsmen there has said. Sure its not a 127 wicket but you're never in on this wicket. Butt got a good ball (sure didnt play it well), so did Akmal. Yousuf played a bad shot as did Farhat but still.

Watch the Australians get big tons now and Pakistan fold for 150 in the second innings!

Doesn't matter what you look like if you have 3000 FC runs @ 58 as an opener tbh.

Yeah, especially when you've done it in the Sheffield Shield. Hughes has always looked weird and more than likely always will, but it doesn't really matter if he keeps piling on the runs. You need to actually see him score runs in form to believe it I suppose but that technique works for him. It's easy to fall into the trap of looking at how ridiculously bad he looks whenever he gets out, but if you score your runs in a really unorthodox manner you're going to get out in an unorthodox manner too - as long as you're scoring the runs it's fine.

Personally I can't stand watching the guy bat but he's a quality bat already and he has a huge scope for improvement given he only just turned 21.

He's not 21.

Really, I was just very impressed that Hughes was having such a tough time out there and didn't do anything rash. There's a lot of deliveries he would have been tempted to smash through the off side but he played everything on its merits, which is usually a skill batsmen learn later on in their careers.

He'll probably go and get caught behind trying to cut something over leg stump first ball after lunch now, but it was still a good effort.

Haha yeah, we should unban Midnight IMO. Think I remember him saying something about Watson having no chance of scoring a Boxing Day Test hundred or something too, so I reckon Rauf will be getting an angry letter or two...
