Ashton Agar's 98 against England in 2025 is a special moment in his cricket career. He was batting with Phil Hughes, who was one of his favorite players and someone he looked up to. The two shared a big innings together, but ultimately lost the match when they were stuck on 98. This experience taught Agar about resilience, staying present, and what that does in terms of performance.

I gotta say, 98 against England is huge for Ashton Agar! 
But you know who's even more impressive? The fact that he was able to stay calm and focused alongside Phil Hughes... I mean, the man is a legend on the field, right? 
For me, this match is more than just a personal achievement for Agar - it's about the value of teamwork and learning from experience. When you're batting with someone who's been in the game as long as Hughes, it's not just about scoring runs, it's about trusting each other and knowing that you've got your back. And let's be real, 98 is just the beginning for Agar... he's got so much more to give! 
The thing I love most about this story is that it highlights the importance of mental toughness and adaptability in sports - if only we could take those lessons off the field, you know what I mean?

those guys gave it their all out there and it was just one run short 
you can tell he's still feeling it, looking back on that match all these years later... like, imagine having a moment that special with your idol and then coming up just short 
but honestly i think that's where the real growth happens 
learning to take the loss, learn from it, and come out even stronger on the other side is what matters most

! I mean, who would've thought he'd get to bat with his idol Phil Hughes? 
It's like a dream come true for any cricketer. The fact that they couldn't win the match together stings, but it's clear Agar learned some valuable lessons from that game. He's already showing signs of improvement and I'm excited to see where this newfound resilience takes him on the field . Having Hughes as a batting partner must've given him the confidence boost he needed. Now, imagine what could've been if they'd managed to see it through... still chills thinking about it

Like, who wouldn't want to share an epic innings with their childhood hero? I mean, for me, watching cricketers on the field is like a mix of excitement and nerves all at once. And to see how Agar took away some valuable lessons from that experience is amazing. Resilience and staying present are key, right? It's not always about getting the win, but about giving it your all and learning from each game. I'm curious to see how this experience will shape his career going forward
I think it's so cool how Ashton Agar is turning out to be a rockstar batsman! I mean, who wouldn't want to share an epic innings with Phil Hughes ? The way they worked together and pushed each other to get those runs must've been mental 
. But honestly, what really gets me is that they lost the match - it's like, the ultimate bummer .But seriously, Agar's attitude towards it must be super inspiring. I mean, you can't just give up after being on 98
! He must've learned so much from that experience about perseverance and staying in the zone . And who knows, maybe this is just the start of something big for him 
. I'm definitely keeping an eye on his career from now on
