Sorry, missed this question yesty, h.

Re: Spivs avoiding outright...meh, it's still a Shield loss. On Hughes...meh, he don't impress me much.

Is Hughes a "nephew" of yours, horrie? It's the only explanation for your constant bigging him up . . . .

by horace on Wed Nov 12, 2008 6:27 pm

he has made 3 centuries in a short space of time (inc one in a final) plus other important innings and he is still a kid...jack hill the blind miner can see the lad has multo talent...and as for being a rello I doubt it,,,was never attracted to pom or welsh gels

Hughes is actually from the mid-north coast of the state of Spivness (my stomping ground), so you'd reckon I'd be on his badwagon.

Obviously has potential at just 19, but seems a bit of a crab to me.

why not...doesn't strike me as a crab...seems unfailingly positive despite the dolts he has to bat with - eg snail, fleas, hatti

I'll give him some time, h. He has obviously started quite well at FC level.

If he gets a call up in a few years, obviously I'll be whipping the horses in front of the Spiv bandwagon.

we need openers now...haydoss is gawn...and we have no other opener....as we are playing the NZZZZZZ's this was an ideal time to play hughes and marsh

Marsh should get a try before he fades into husseyness.

by JGK on Wed Nov 12, 2008 10:56 pm

Marsh isn't a test opener.

In fact, I'm not convinced he is a test batsman although I have only ever seen him play JAMODDs and JAMITTs.
