Talking to my cousin in Aus, Smith is the captain they don't want. Cummins may be the official captain for the media but apparently Smith runs the team on the pitch - you could see that in the England first innings

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

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

They need to score quickly if they plan to declare with an eye on the weather for Tomorrow.
What happens if they declare early (losing vital runs) then the weather is ok tomorrow...
Proper HF!

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

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?
 
Prices are a bit steep like.

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

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

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
