Today Michael Vaughan went out to Steve Harmison.
It was a confusing day for England.
Not for Australia.
Phillip Hughes played his first game for Middlesex, and the most predictable thing happened.
A hundred.
The boy seems to ooze runs from every available orifice.
Before today no one knew if Phil could play in English conditions.
He could have been a little Michael Clarke or Douggie Waltersesque.
That looks less likely now.
There is a sense of eager overachiever about Phil, I can see him pissing off a great deal of people, sort of like the a young know it all kid who is good at computers and has way too much confidence for his general appearance.
I think I like him though, he seems to make alot of runs, but does it so ugly.
A sportsman needs a weakness for me to like them.
I know I’m sick.
If Phil had a perfect technique, I’d probably hate him.
But for now I like him, even if he is a tad predictable.
so should he be playing in the desert instead?
