Agar should farm the strike from Hughes to keep him away from the bowling. He's my new cricketing hero, talk about showing up the more recognised team-mates.

Australian second innings, Agar to open & Watson to bat at 11.

We may have found a batsman in Agar down at #11.

Currently has 43 off 39.

We may even crack 200!

Smart from England....our tail bat ok vs the pacemen, Starc, Siddle, Pattinson are no mugs vs pace but had no idea vs Swann, wonder what Lyon is thinking as Swann is really turning them and on the second day...going to be a bitch to bat against him in the 2dn innings.
Hughes showing some character and maybe he can do a Mike Hussey and hold down the No 6 spot.....still remain unconvinced about Smith., still has a bit of a slogger approach and while he is hitting them he looks ok but always looks likely to get out next ball.
Hoping Agar can get some turn when he bowls and get a few wickets...

Smith is a 20/20 player only, his technique and temperament suits that form of the game, not a Test cricketer at all.

I have only watched 10 mins and with the score board I agree with Sheik. Agar a winner and our dedicated batsmen are chumps.

Hughes, wonderful anchor innings under pressure.

Agar, well I could boof him right now...lol!

What a great innings! What is a player averaging 33.6 in first class cricket doing batting at 11.

Who can believe we're in front after being 9-117.

He's on 96 and on strike for the next over, one good swat and he'll bring up his ton.

Please cricket gods, let it happen .........

Great last wicket record stand. Is his average the highest of all batsmen in our squad at international level for test cricket yet ?

He did well and probably helped the form of Hughes too.

I feel sorry for the kid. If anyone deserved a century it was him.

It was still a fantastic partnership between him and Hughes, single-handedly brought us back into this test match.
