Pitching up short? Is that like bowling full bouncers?
The players you disliked Hughes, Siddle and Smith have done well no?
Why do they keep bowling short? Agar has hit them every time hasn't he?
that late cut I like this, makes for a more interesting test
this is bloody frustrating
He cuts, pulls, leaves and defends. He is a proper batsman.
Yes they have akash. I don't dislike smith, just the way he was selected (if he's in then why not nick maddenson). Hughes fair play has played a real test type knock and good on him. Siddle stopped bowling short and tool wickets.
Can't say I'm not happy after this crazy stuff though

Lol read the dossier Broad. Don't bowl there.
Unbelievable. Australia take the lead.
This is great
Poor over from Broad
This is surreal.
just an amazing passage of play!
Haha mate just sent me a text;
"It's ugly, it's off side. IT'S PHIL HUGHES."

They've duped us, he's a top 7 batsmen all day this Agar bloke.
Hilarious looking score card.
Agar out first ball after lunch?
Hopefully Flower gives everyone a bollocking and we can knock over Australia quickly. Agar bats 8 for Western Australia, looks promising batting wise. Looks like it will be a one innings shoot out but Agar will probably rack up a 100 knowing England .

He hardly got a score for Henley CC a month ago, either.
This is Tino Best 95 all over again.
This always happens with England, struggle to get the tail out, this is why they lack that ruthless edge and is stopping them from becoming a great team
Fantastic session. Great burst from Anderson to start the day and then poor bowling and decent batting has put Australia right back in this game. Agar should bat up the order.
He was batting 3 so they must have seen something in him at Henley. He has 3 First Class 50's and he's only been playing for this year.
Can see what you mean, 100% stumped how have they not given that.
Agar looked excellent. I had goosebumps watching some of that play from today.
Athers calling Gower a number 11 and Gower's nonplussed expression at that being the cherry, of course.

His style is very very similar to Yuvi. Pulls and drives like him.

Cook's strategy was awful.
Yeah, obviously he's no mug (although you'd expect a test player to be doing well at that level) but he didn't seem to get any real big scores and I don't think that quite translates to smacking a test bowling unit all over the park.
Haven't seen a single yorker to Agar, really wonder what goes through some of these bowlers heads.
Lead by 39
This is so wonderful. Good on the young man.
fecks sake England. You have to lol.
Agar should be MotM win or loose, he's actually made a match out of it.
Amazing stuff.
What is Agar's first class average. Is he known for good lower order batting?
10 matches, 33 average before this. In the words of Lehmann, "gives it a good thwack".
Crazy stuff... He's 19 for feck sake.
Oh look, and another test match record for a high score for a number 11 set against England.
How many batsmen have scored a century on their début batting at number 11 then?
