Ashton Agar is a saints fan and having a miraculous first at bat in the big Game

http://www.perthscorchers.com.au/team/p ... shton-agar

Ashton is currently studying Arts and Law at Deakin University, and is a keen fisherman. He is looking forward to getting out in a boat when he arrives in WA with some of his new team mates. A keen fan of AFL club St Kilda, he enjoys hip-hop music and lists his favourite movie as Law Abiding Citizen and cricket hero as Sachin Tendulkar. - See more at: http://www.perthscorchers.com.au/team/p ... 3orA2.dpuf

still going on 47 currently

This is the highest score by a No 11 on debut ever in the history of the game. Agar's growing in stature

Agar is on the verge of breaking quite a few records here. No batsman has scored a fifty on debut at No 11.

More importantly he is a product of the mightly McKinnon cricket club where his dad made a team of the decade.

Seona Breen‏@ShooshyB4m
We just witnessed 2 epic sporting achievements. One by a debutant at The Ashes, another by the most inspiring and selfless man on a bike x

[saintbrat]

I'm guessing you wish you were already there Loris........

[Munga]

Rookie list?

[maverick]

More importantly he is a product of the mightly McKinnon cricket club where his dad made a team of the decade.

Really?
Knew that name from somewhere.

[matrix]

nervous 90s

cmon....!

[matrix]

was that someone in the crowd with a saints shirt on?

[patto]

was that someone in the crowd with a saints shirt on?

Indeed it was.
Bummer for the young Agar out for 98. Great innings though!

[savatage]

Yep it was Matrix!

Damn it so close! Was great to watch. I actually can't stand modern cricket - but that was enjoyable to watch! Gun!

[saintbrat]

was that someone in the crowd with a saints shirt on?

and I missed it-

Well Played young man-- the dream continues......

[skeptic]

Agar like Siddle and most Victorians... especially bowlers often take it upon themselves to do what needs to be done for the team

especially if it's for your country. If you're not a Victorian, you wouldn't u/s this comment so just ignore it and closely follow the other no name cricketers in the team that bowl loosely and score ducks

[saintbrat]

and while we're on young Cricketers with Victorian and saintly connections
