Creampuff 22,628 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Agar is one talented young player..This hasn't been just luck from a bowler, he's played some wonderful strokes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Up to 273-9 now.Much tougher over for Agar and Hughes, there. Swann spinning it well.Hughes retains strike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersMedia 35,961 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 .This hasn't been just luck from a bowler, he's played some wonderful strokes.This partnership is more damaging to England than Australia solely being ahead of them in runs now. It's psychologically draining for them and a huge boost to the Australian team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's psychologically draining for them and a huge boost to the Australian team.Absolutely.Every run is a boost to the scoreboard, but every delivery bowled is a psychological blow for England, and Australia will feed off of it.

Creampuff 22,628 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 End of the 64th Over: Aus 278-996 and 81 for Agar and Hughes now.The lead is 63, England are stemming the runs a little better, but it doesn't look like either of the batsmen really care. They're playing like there is no pressure because, well.. There's no pressure! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Agar gets a two, he's on strike now at 98 .He is still playing pretty sensibly, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersMedia 35,961 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I really want Australia to get hammered in this series but can't help but feel delight at this Agar innings. GET YOUR 100! Typical England tactic over the past 2 years. Struggling - revert to the short-ball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm almost glad it was Agar that went though, I'd have been annoyed if he didn't get his century because Hughes got out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGM_72 3,650 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Gutted for the lad but he just had a chuckle about it!Great attitude and a great innings, supported really well by Hughes.Game on! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 I think Agar will bat the second innings at 6.Hope him and Hughes can make the same partnership higher up the order. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 If England want this momentum back they need to get as near to 100 as possible before they drop their first wicket.Pattinson and Siddle to start? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 The commentators can say all they like about how the remarkable partnership is the only reason they're behind, and it won't happen again; but there's also a good chance that Clarke, Siddle, Haddin and Watson will all score more runs than they did last time.
