Skittle 'em out now lads, give yourselves a fighting chance

 

19/2 so far this morning.... bit more like it...

 

The art of playing a good square cut seems long gone.

 

Two fours and Smith on 99.

 

Very good ball from Anderson.

 

• Well played you "ugly bastard"!

 

100 please!
Well done Smithy.
Played strong, done good.

 

Smith is on the way to another big hundred. 450 on the cards.

 

"Goes to bed with his bat" says one commentator about Smith.
When he plays this way, he can knock his balls around all night with it as far as us Aussies are concerned.

 

100 for Smith....... gggrrrr

All of a sudden 52/2 this morning and 450 rearing it's ugly head.....

 

Leaking too many runs.

 

The pitch seems to offer more to the bowlers today than yesterday…… or is they are just bowling better.

 

**** me we've caught one.

Smith is a batting genius. Nice to see the back of him.

Good again from Tongue.

 

According to Tuffers the pitch seems a bit firmer this morning so should be a decent batting track today and tomorrow....

Occasionally a ball is flying through so offers a bit for the bowlers.... Will probably suit the aussies more.....

 

****ing Cummins bats like a top order batsman.

 

4 hundred. Onya boys!

 

Fell for that Lyon, ya twat.

 

Lyon over mid wicket for 4, but then he thinks he is an upper order batsman.
Hazelwood has to support Cummins and let his captain take the Poms on.

 

First job done this morning, with England looking much better than yesterday. Now let's get a score ourselves.

 

From 316/3 to 416 all out..... you'd think that England have come back well from that.....

Tricky 20 minutes or so coming up....
