Guys,

Hey Jack. I knew you'd like it.

Not sure if you're asking me how much I got it for, or how much I'd sell it for, so I'll answer both possibilities ....

Didn't cost me much at all. The McGrath Foundation is my charity of choice and making a small donation put me in the draw to win something from the SCG test match. Of course, I didn't expect to win anything given the number of donors they must attract during the Pink test.

As always with my personal collection, Not For Sale!

Thanks, it is nice My first piece of match worn memorabilia in all the years I've been collecting.

I was really amused at my daughter's ability to copy Hughes' signature so well. All she needs now is a bunch of cards and an ebay account, then I'll be able to make you an offer on the Phil Hughes match worn gloves from your personal collection

Thanks man. I'll pass on the compliments to the artist! The framing was all done by the McGrath Foundation. It's really nicely put together and weighs a good 10+ kg. I couldn't believe my luck when I heard that my name was pulled from a hat!!

Well done Nazim... an incredible piece and one that you will cherish for many years to come.
I was lucky enough to pick up Shane Watsons game worn test shirt from the corresponding match the summer before... the great escape where we bowled the Pakistani's out for 135 when they were chasing 176 for the win.... Wato scored 97 in the second dig... so close to that century... again !! lol ( this match is now sometimes referred to as the great "chuck" as well )
As mentioned, a game worn shirt and if you click on to view can see all the sweat marks around collar and neck of shirt... a real ripper in my game worn collection and whats makes it even sweeter is this was the start of Watos great form run seeing him win 2 Allan Border Cricketer of the Years awards in a row !
Enjoy and thanks for sharing Nazim
Cheers

That's so cool Damian. Thanks so much for sharing. Watson sure has surprised everyone with his burgeoning talent. I still can't believe he's our top opener these days and miles in front of the others in terms of consistency and performance. I reckon he'll play a huge role in the world cup as well.

Very nice shirt there. I really like those McGrath Foundation shirts. Do you have any other shirts -test or One Day International?
