, but in a situation that had no pressure, on a pitch that is very good to bat on. Lets hope that the bad form he was in is in the past. Though im not sure England will be scared seeing him coming in at 3rd during the ashes.Posted: Sun Feb 03, 2019 8:17 amGarlicJam wrote:sussexpob wrote:GarlicJam wrote: Tracks Head was quite emotional the evening before, talking about Hughes. He looked to the sky as he celebrated his maiden test century, in what was a tribute to his good friend Hughes.
So, the spectre of Hughes' injury and death was even more present yesterday.
How were the two such good friends? Head must have been still in his teens when Hughes died, and Head is a South Australian, Hughes was NSW's wasnt he? They couldnt have crossed paths in the national setup. Are they related?
Hughes was playing for SA (against NSW, at the SCG) when he was hit. Head was a very early starter in his 1st class career.
just looked it up, Both of them started playing 1st Class for SA in 2012
