Ashton hasn't claimed any wickets yet unfortunately, he will get a chance tomorrow as England are batting.

 

He did break a batting record, the highest ever score by a number 11 batsman in test histroy, 140 years of it and he does it in his first innings.

 

For those who don't know cricket a number 11 is your worst batter, in the team to bowl (I guess pitch would be the best comparison) and bad at batting. A typical number 11 might average under 10 runs each innings, the worst I have seen averaged 2. Ashton scored 98.

 

He is a Victorian, grew up near me but left for Perth. We still see him as one of ours.

 

Looks like he can bowl a maiden over too.

 I can imagine. And thank you very much for the welcome :)

 

A couple extra Ashton Agar facts.

 

- He is half Sri Lankan, his mother came to Aus at the age of 12, his father is Australian anglo.

 

- He is also seriously smart, he was accepted into a combined Arts/Law degree from highschool, that would place him in the top 5 percent of his year level or higher.

 

Just in case he wasn't attractive enough on a purely visual level.

Ashton Agar taking his first Test wicket on Friday.  As you can see he's being very cool about it. Nope, not at all excited ... :lol:

A much better performance from the Aussies on the opening day of the Third Test with their first century and 303 for 3 in the bag after a dismal Second Test at Lords when England blew away the tourists - who looked like this  :P
