Leicestershire sign young aussie as overseas pro

Leicester has signed young NSW batsmen PHillip Hughes and under 19 australia cricketer as their overseas pro next season,he is seen as a future international.

"a future international"

He is a dubber....

There was a write in up the Sunday spiv papers on him and how he and Kiddie have the same coach.


Clearly Hughes' manager has been doing some good work.

presume he has blonde hair, been photographed in the social pages and is described by Mark Nicholas as dashing

bitter old cnut!

meh....watch the old bit

Actually, apparently he is quite short and stocky.

Not MN's type at all.

Not sure about the blonde bit though.

How quickly time passes ...

But did you read it in the original Latin?

He's hardly scored a run so far this season, has he? even the NSW media is being hard pressed to justify why he should be in the Aussie side. Say it quietly, but he may well have been completely worked out by opposing bowlers. And to think that it's all down to Steve Harmison........

Still beats me how he took 2 tons off the saffers in one game with such an obvious technical flaw that we all talked about before the series

Got worked out in that other series that happened during the year ... what was the name of it again? errrmm (racks brain ..) Issues? Ershads? something like that.

It's weird isn't it? You'd watch him, thinking that someone, surely would work out what seemed to be bleeding obvious, and no-one did. I remember telling all my Aussie colleagues that he was going to get bounced constantly in the Ash......er the series about to happen, and no-one seemed remotely worried about it.

Maybe we're all just brilliant, and should be taken on by all international teams on vast salaries?
