Phillip Hughes

[Smokey_22]

Surprised no-ones posted much on him.
The kid is 18 and just made his debut for NSW with a 50. Just made a big ton for nsw 2nd 11 and a 50 against sri lanka (including murali) a few weeks back (for some aussie 11?!).
This kid looks promising - he should be given every opportunity.

I was going to start a thread on him, but didn't want to get accused of pumping the tires of a NSWelshman. He does look very promising though, and along with Henriques is one of NSW's very talented young players.

Seems extremely composed for a man his age, and generally knows which ball to play and which ball to leave alone.

He already has one in the brown paper bag when he got his blue cap

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Baggy Blue >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Baggy Green

Clearly, you get two caps when you get the blue one

 

[ubolt]

damn fine player

big hitter of the ball, wicket-keeper at times too

certainly knows how to play the game

 

[Fitz roos]

Where abouts does he bat? Top order, middle order or lowish(6 or 7)

 

[silky-smooth]

Give him a baggy green.

usually an opener

opened in their Under 19's team last season and opened for them in the 2nd XI.

not sure about club cricket though

Give him a baggy green.

How about your SA Boys recruit him and make him captain.

 

[silky-smooth]

We didn't want him to leave Adelaide after the tour match.

68 today for Hughes on ODD debut.

I hope the national selectors are watching

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

I think he's gotta do a lot more to get the attention of the selectors lol, but yes he's made a very promising start in both forms of the game. He's so composed and naturally talented for an 18yr old.

 

[Grimwood]

Phil Hughes - what a bastard!

18 years old and he makes 50 on debut in both forms of the game and mow he's keeping wicket according to cricinfo. Pisses you off almost as much as AB de Villiers.

 

[the_mighty_pies_3733]

Very strange technique tho.

 

[Smokey_22]

Another 50 to the young lad.

 

[Ricketts]

Phil Jaques should have a concerned look over his shoulder.

 

[goodie]

what a shit call.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Another 50-odd today. I hope he pushes on to a big score soon!

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Scored 40-odd today, but still hasn't reached that elusive ton. Looks the goods early in his career!

 

[timmeh]

Will be Haydos' replacement when and if he ever retires.

Bookmark it.

Scores so far in his first season:

Pura Cup:

51, 51, 0, 18*, 53, 44, 54*

FRC:

68, 5, 42.

This guy is going to be a star.

 

[Blue Dimension]

We need a young opener to come up. Lets hope this guy is the gem Australia has been looking for.

 

[dont bowl there]

Good to see a couple of young openers doing really well in the pura cup, Liam Davis for WA and Phillip Hughes for NSW.
