Phil Hughes

This guy is incredible, I was just looking at cricinfo and he is playing for middlesex

First game he scores 118 and then 60+ not out in the second innings and in the next game is currently 32 not out for a first class average of 64......

This guy is going to go places, I'll say it now 30+ test centuries he will score by the time he retires

yeah he's an incredible player, has a real future for Australia

Even though the ODI team of Australia is struggling, Aussie selectors are still allowing Phil Hughes to play in english leage so that he can develop his game outside the glare of international cricket. As a result of this, Phil Hughes will be a much better player when he hits the ODI scene.

he is great prospect no doubt, but little early to predict 30+ tons. I'm a big fan of ryder btw !

He is a run scoring machine... but i think he is much much better suited to test matches even though he still scores at a very good strike rate at first class level... he has a highly unusual technique that he has perfected and will have a long career for sure in the test arena

This guy plays the cut shot better than ANYONE else... mark waugh once said he could cut the ears off a fish with a cricket bat and he simply cuts anything that is remotely short and wide to the boundary... ive seen times where teams have put 3-4 fielders behind square on the off side and he is still able to pierce the gap... He definitely has the best cut shot in world cricket bar none

So after 3 innings he has batted in the county season he has 2 hundred and 1 fifty(not out)

Nadim · #7 April 29, 2009, 12:42 PM

only 20 and he will be a superstar for AUS.

The cricketer Hughes will have a good future. Not 30 test centuries, but maybe 30 international centuries.
