Amazing innings...now off to bed...so many late nights...

Guy's got maturity way above other guys, like a certain David Warner.
This won't be the last we'll see of him.

Feel for him. Brilliant attitude on this lad, just shrugged it off. Put his side in a decent position.

 

[AbhishekS]

Feeling very, very bad for Agar. Deserved a ton and a lot more. Very well played.

Looks like a good batting day! Ausies really need to bowl well in order to pose any kind of threat.
Well done Agar Made me forget there is a tri series final going around too!

Tell you what, last wicket partnership was around 50 more runs than the total at the time 9th wicket fell. Should be a record partnership too.

I wouldn't be surprised if England lose a few quick wickets now. That last stand has put a bit of pressure on our batsmen.

It is, the highest 10th wicket partnership ever.

All I'm going to say is that Pietersen was first discovered in 1999 as a nineteen year-old off-spin bowler who batted at number 9 in South African First Class cricket.

6 years later...

Agar is the first no 11 to score a fifty on his debut
Agar 98 is the highest score by any no 11 batsman
Agar and Hughes partnership of 163 is the highest 10th wicket partnership ever

Agar and records still a better love story than twilight

I agree with this. There is a real danger of collapse as they will be feeling so fed up and Australia will have their tails up.
I'd be happy to see a grinding attritional 150/1 at the close.

I can't wait for the crowd reaction when Agar comes on to bowl.

Wow, just wow. Thank god this is not an Australian forum unlike another one I am on which at the moment has 4,240 posts

Can you tell the forum name too

Bloody hell England - why do we always do this! We had them dead and buried and now look!

That 3rd Umpire decision though - that was a shocker; could be a very costly shocker as well.

Agar's 98 surely goes down with McGrath's 61 in Australian cricket folklore. Him and Hughes have given us a chance.
