This is why you need a 5th bowler. This is why it might have made sense to play a bowling allrounder such as Bresnan and not Bairstow. I don't like Bresnan but he would have provided that extra option, especially when Broad was out for AGES!

This is frustrating to watch. Finn is bowling absolute garbage, never been a fan of his. well played Agar and Hughes.

still don't understand the hype around Finn. no doubt he'll be useful when he's older but I don't see such potential that he's worth having in the team so young.

still think bresnan has got the shortest straw in english cricket.

How awesome is this, we are witnessing history.

If I remember correctly, only Best has a century to his name as a no. 11 batsman??

He only got 95.

Finn is a better bowler than Bresnan, faster, averages better, better SR, more wickets, what more do you want?

I reckon Bresnan should have played in place of the rather useless Bairstow, given us a 5th bowler and a decent batting option.

He only got 95.

And that was the highest score by a no. 11, right?

 

[alexczarn]

I *think* so. I'm sure it was.

 

[Meet]

I *think* so. I'm sure it was.

Yes it was, as Agar overtakes him.

And there is the No. 11 record for Agar...

Well done, young fella!!

 

[cricket_icon]

I *think* so. I'm sure it was.

Agar is the highest scorer now. It's been a fun innings!

 

[MattW]

Breaking them is a good way to find out about records in cricket.

 

[Meet]

And this will remain as a record for ages, highest debut no.11 score for sure if not the highest no.11 score.

 

[Epic]

Talk about anticlimactic...

 

[MattW]

I imagine that Hughes is massively relieved that Agar got himself out.

 

[cricket_icon]

Aw man, I was hoping for the century and I'm an England fan but he has played a blinder, Agar and Hughes have got the extra 65 that Australia would have so desperately wanted. Game on
