Hughes was brilliant first dig, first test when every other batsman failed. And that on a dry wicket taking some spin.

but at the same time smitteh faced a solid hour of Anderson in the last session of day one first test when he was swinging the **** a mile both ways, this is harsh on hughes but it could be argued he scored a lot of his runs at an easy time when Agar was flogging the ****s to all parts. really not much between the two but i reckon smitteh should stay cause he's probably the slightly better all round bat when you consider he can score both sides of the wicket and he's a far superior player of spin, plus he's the better fielder and can bowl a bit.



oh and he is the peoples champion after all

Clear plan for Sussex to go after the Aussies spinners. If Lyon and Agar continue to go around the park it does put them in a bit of a pickle. OT the wrong ground to do it but certainly at Durham 4 seamers might be the way to go.

doesn't make it right... how about organise a match with the Lions so the Aussies get a good challenge and all the test hopefuls can play, Sussex couldn't even give us Goffers ffs

Dropped! Smith puts down a sitter at second slip, head height off Faulkner. Jordan the lucky man. Sussex 5-200 #SCCCvAUS #Ashes

What do the Australians here think of his bowling. He is certainly medium-fast but his First Class record is far better than Starc and only slightly worse than Bird. Surely he must bring something special with the ball to average 23. I'm not saying he should be picked or anything, but I'm just wondering what people who have seen him bowl often think.

He bowls straight pies and plays all his home games on a green top. Only the fourth best bowler at Tassie.
