He's running the game for them. Even contradicting Cummins on field placings.

But it's okay as it "Just Smithy".

 

No declaration here mind. All out for something, whatever it is. In a perfect world well be batting until 5-30, but I very much doubt it. There's only Ali left, and he has a busted finger.

Think with Ali not fit to bowl properly 250 is the minimum to defend. Really another fifty of more, but it's hard to see. Ben hasn't played for weeks on end, but here's hoping!

 

Nah disagree. Need time to bowl them out.

 

Anything under 250 is a huge risk, even with the weather around tomorrow there will probably enough time for 50 overs. With Ali possibly broken that's not a huge total to chase

 

Just don't lose the first test.

 

'sake

I mean gerrin. Obvious bump ball

 

Steve Smith knew that bounced. Unbelievable man! Boland may not have known, but Smith certainly did

 

Well thats a terrible shame for the Aussies

 

Anyone else think smith was claiming fir that one which went past him fir four? He nearly got his hand on it so that’s enough fir a shout surely?

 

Stokes looks like his knee is bothering him a bit after that sweep shot.

 

Bugger, into the bowlers now and not enough on the board yet

 

Prices are a bit steep like.

 

"we saw you cry on the telly"

 

What a ****ing cheat. How could you honestly claim that as a catch?

 

He knew fine well he had grounded that imo.

Bloody nerve wracking watching this though

 

'sake Moeen man

 

Broad to swing the bat? I will be happier if we are closer to 300 with our potentially weakened attack

 

Think we are going to end up 50-70 runs shy and everyone will pile on the declaration

 

England has thrown this match away with batting like that. Its all well and good playing attacking shots but there is a time and place. Bowlers need to pull a cat out of the bag to rescue this

 

I wasnt convinced by the declaration but thats in the past now, the batting today hasnt been great which is more the problem than the declaration imo
