NSW thrash Vics, Hughes technique inspiration

Sydney has had a habit of outdoing Melbourne over the last few decades, and todays Champions League T20 semi final was no different.  In fact, the “contest” between NSW and Victoria was about the most one-sided match of the entire tournament.

I was making notes while the match played out on TV, and I have decided to provide a condensed version of events using these excerpts:

Pitch "unusual" (i.e. rubbish). NSW win toss. Match? Probably.

Vics 2nd over: game over

That’s about all you need to know.  Victoria never had a chance after both openers had fallen to Hauritz in the 2nd over, and they barely managed to get half of the NSW total.

But the most important happening today was that I figured out what it is about Phil Hughes’ technique that is so familiar to me.

It’s been bugging me since the start of the Ashes, especially when assorted media authorities tell us it is without precedent in the history of man.

They are wrong.

Phil Hughes has the same batting technique as my 4 year old son.
