England v Australia: 1st Investec Ashes Test - Day Two
Ashton Agar

Ashton Agar had a dream start to his career back in 2013 at the age of 19. Selected as a bowler to play in the 1st Test of Ashes Series against England at Trent Bridge, Agar smashed the highest score by a No. 11 batsman on debut.

Australia were reeling on a score of 117/9 when Agar came in and smashed a 98 off just 101 deliveries, thereby stitching a partnership of 163 runs with Philip Hughes. However, he did not have a great outing with the ball and was dropped from the side after the second Test.

After two Test matches, Agar has just two wickets to his name at a dismal average of 124. However, that is expected to improve as he will play a crucial role for Australia both with the bat and ball in the series against Bangladesh. He will probably be preferred over Mitchell Swepson owing to his superior batting abilities.

On the Bangladeshi pitches supporting his kind of bowling, he can become a real menace for the batsmen if he delivers the ball in the right areas.
