Okay this bloke might be the "next big thing" but can't someone tap him on the shoulder and say "err, listen mate, you look like a *** with those two big diamond earings in" " why don't you grow up, look around and see that you look like an Oxford street nancy boy" frickin' hell who advises these blokes? Just goes to show that Cricketers think its cool to look like something out of a boy band:D Although he might be gay:confused: like most boy band members.

42, maybe too old, but being an old bastard maybe l'm out of touch with the "fashions" . To me that is not fashion, he looks like a twerp. l know its probably a stupid subject for a thread but being an old punk this pretty boy look makes me puke.:thumbsdown:
 
Couldn't find a list so had to do the stats myself. If Hughes plays in the 1st Test v RSA, he will be 20y 2m 27d, slotting in above Bradman as the 16th youngest. McDermott, Steve Waugh and Ponting are the most recent. The youngest debutants (<21) for Australia are :

Well if he scores runs who could give a "rat's tossbag"? I'm not really a fan of Clarke's tatt and his earring either but at the end of the day, if they are doing well i can't see how it matters.
 
As of today hughes is 20 years and 67 days (2 mths and 7 days). What is the day of the first test he may be younger than when bradman made his debut, not a bad effort.
 
Have to say I thought the same thing as the OP when i saw the news last night. He thinks he's David Beckham!!
 
As long as he makes some runs i couldnt give a f*ck what he looks like.

Why would a young man want to make himself look older and less "attractive" to some?

And who the hell gives a **** about our players look anyway?
 
It's not the 1970's anymore, gramps. Plenty of kids these days wear earrings in both ears. I, personally, like the look of the diamond earrings. Furthermore, you might have noticed Serena Williams only wearing one earring. Times change. Those old theories about earrings and sexuality have thankfully been thrown out the window.
 
just saw him interviewed, he is gay, no doubt about it the way he struts arouns and talks
