Ashton Agar remembers scoring 98 on Ashes debut as a teenager

Ashton Agar's Ashes career will forever be remembered for the 98 runs he scored in Nottingham on November 21, 2025. The Australian leg-spinner was sharing a batting partnership with fellow player Phil Hughes when a fatal blow struck him down while batting in a Sheffield Shield match.

Agar had previously played three more Tests but none of them were in the Ashes.

man that's so sad πŸ€• i feel for phil hughes and aussie cricket he was having an amazing game and then boom, it's over 😱 98 runs is insane though! you've gotta have to be on top of your game when you're sharing a partnership with someone like phil. but the fact that this will be remembered forever is pretty wild too. like, what would his career stats even look like without that innings? πŸ€” it's crazy how one moment can define someone's legacy in sports
 
Man what a tragic loss πŸ€•... just when you think that 98 was gonna be an okay career milestone for Ashton, this happens 😱. I mean, can you imagine being on the pitch and hearing that crack of the bat... it's like something outta a nightmare. And to think he only played three more Tests after this match... what if? πŸ€”

I feel bad for Phil Hughes too, sharing that partnership with him and having to be there when all that happened πŸ’”. Ashes is supposed to be this iconic series, but it's now tainted by the loss of an amazing young player like Ashton πŸ™. I hope his memory lives on in cricket history, not just as a statistic or a tragic story...
 
OMG u wont beleive wot happend 2 Ashton Agar 🀯! He scored those iconic 98 runs in Nottingham & it's gonna b remembered 4eva πŸ”₯! I mean, can u imagine gettin hit like dat while tryin 2 score some runs? 😱 The fact that he played 3 more Tests but not the Ashes is kinda sad tho... I guess it jus shows how short careers r in cricket 🏏. Anyways, Agar's legacy lives on thru those 98 precious runs & we can all just appreciate his skills on the field πŸ’ͺ! Rest in peace, mate πŸ˜”
 
πŸ€• That's a really sad turn of events for cricket fans everywhere, especially those who've been following Ashton Agar's career. His contribution to the sport is still going to be celebrated by many, and that 98 runs he scored in Nottingham will forever be etched in history books πŸ“š. It's not often that you see a player make such an impact in just one innings, especially under such tragic circumstances.

I think it's worth noting that Agar had already established himself as a talented cricketer before the incident, and his career was full of promise. Playing three more Tests after this incident does suggest that he still had some cricket left in him, but ultimately, fate had other plans πŸ€”. The 2025 Ashes series will now be remembered for its unexpected twist, rather than just being a competitive match between England and Australia.
 
πŸ€• just heard about this 😱 what a shock, 98 runs is insane for any scenario let alone in that situation πŸ™ can't imagine how tough it must've been for phil hughes & team to see him go πŸ’” like, agar's career was already pretty impressive with all the accolades he got, but i guess you never know when life takes a turn for the worse πŸ’€ still gonna be remembered as one of aussies greatest ever ⚾️ gotta feel for his teammates & family πŸ™
 
πŸ˜” this is such a shame man... Ashton Agar's career was just getting started and he already made a huge impact on the cricket world with that 98 runs in Nottingham 🏏. it's crazy how one moment can change everything. sharing a partnership with Phil Hughes, of all people, and then... πŸ’₯ it's like his time was cut short before we got to see what else he could do for Australia. three more Tests were left after this match, you'd think that's not enough to be tested under pressure but still πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. cricket is a cruel sport at times, so sad to lose someone as young and talented like Agar 😒
 
πŸ˜’ I'm not gonna lie, 98 runs is nothing to write home about... especially if you're talking about cricket. Like, what's the point of even keeping track of that score? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ I mean, we've got more important things to worry about in this world than some guy's batting average.

And can we talk about how weird it is that he dies on a day that sounds like something out of a movie? November 21st... doesn't that sound like some kind of ominous warning or something? πŸ•·οΈ It's just crazy, man. You'd think you'd want to live in a world where sports can be enjoyed without all the drama and tragedy.

I guess it's good that he got to go out with a bang, but at the same time... what's the point of even having sports if people are just gonna die playing them? πŸ€” It's just a harsh reminder of how fragile life is. Anyway, I guess we'll always remember him for that one game. Not exactly the most inspiring legacy, if you ask me 😐.
 
😱 that's so sad, I mean Ashton Agar was literally on fire (pun intended) with those 98 runs and now he's just gone πŸ€• it's crazy to think his career is gonna be defined by that one innings, you know? I remember when he first broke into the cricket scene and everyone thought he was this young gun with so much potential... and he totally delivered πŸ’ͺ but at the same time, it's like his life was cut short and all we're left with is what could've been πŸ€”
 
I gotta say, I'm not buying into all this nostalgia around Ashton Agar's final Test. I mean, yeah he scored some decent runs in that last game, but is it really worth making him a legend just because his career was cut short? πŸ€”

He played three more Tests after that, and you don't see anyone going on about those ones. It's like the Ashes match was the only thing that matters. I think we're romanticizing this guy a bit too much. And what's with Phil Hughes' involvement in all this? He didn't even bat out his life to save Agar! πŸ˜‚

Plus, let's be real, 98 runs isn't exactly a record-breaking score. It's just one of those moments that happens in cricket, you know? Can we give Ashton Agar some credit for playing well, but not make him a hero just because he died doing what he loved? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
 
πŸ˜” just heard about this tragic news, it's so sad to see Ashton Agar's talented career cut short like that πŸ€• his 98 runs in Nottingham will be a memorable moment for cricket fans forever πŸ’” i feel bad for Phil Hughes too, they were sharing that partnership and then... 😱 it's a harsh reminder of how fragile life is and how quickly it can change direction ⏰ we have to appreciate the time we have with our loved ones and make the most out of every moment πŸ™ cricket will miss this young talent and his family will be feeling the loss so much πŸ’”
 
Man... I'm still trying to process what happened to Ashton Agar πŸ˜”. I mean, 98 runs in a single innings is just insane! He was on fire that day in Nottingham and it's crazy he didn't get another chance to shine in the Ashes. I remember watching him play in the Indian Premier League and he looked like a star 🀩. His career had so much promise and now it's all... gone πŸ’”.

You know, it's days like this that make you appreciate the good old days of Test cricket when players like Ian Botham and Graham Gooch were still playing. Those guys knew how to tell a story with the bat πŸ“š. I hope his legacy lives on and we get to see more Aussie bowlers like Agar coming up through the ranks. Rest in peace, Ashton 😒
 
man that's like so sad to hear about ashton agar... i mean, 98 runs is insane for a guy who got taken out at 21 lol what was that fatal blow tho? hopefully they can figure out how it happened and make sure something like this doesn't happen again in the future... anyway, ashley preece or whoever the aussie captain was is gonna have to come up with some new strategies since agar was their go-to guy. and phil hughes too, i guess he'll just have to be more careful out there now πŸ€•πŸ’”
 
😱 That's crazy! I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. 98 runs is insane for an innings, especially considering it came at a time when his career was... well, you know πŸ˜”. The fact that he got to experience the Ashes series before it all went wrong is just amazing. And to think, this partnership with Phil Hughes must've been something special 🀝.

I mean, Agar was only 24 years old, and his life was cut short in such a tragic way. It's heartbreaking for his family, friends, and the cricket community πŸ€•. I'm sure there will be tributes poured in for this talented Aussie spinner, and his name will forever be linked to that incredible innings πŸ’”.

It's also a reminder of how fleeting life can be, you know? One minute you're living your dream, and the next... not so much 😞. Anyway, let's celebrate Ashton Agar's legacy with some amazing cricket, because that's what he'd want us to do πŸŽ‰.

OMG u guys I'm literally still in shock after that Ashes game last week I mean Ashton Agar was such an underrated cricketer I remember watching him play for Australia and he always looked so calm under pressure πŸ€” and now this 😒 it's just too much to process. I had a mate who met him at a charity event like 2 years ago and we were both starstruck lol. I asked him about his strategy and he was super humble about it, which made me even more respect for the guy. Anyway, that partnership with Phil Hughes was insane! 98 runs is crazy 🀯 and it's such a shame he won't get to play in another Ashes series now 😒. Can you imagine what could've been? RIP Ashton Agar πŸ‘‹
