As always, need to get smith out. Haven’t worked out how to bowl to him yet to cause him issue
I would say Smith is probably the best batsman in the world atm, he got half of Aus 1st innings total, so 'working out' how to get such a batsman out is very difficult
Without Smith this Ashes series would be over pretty quickly.
Think our chance of the win went when 122-8 turned into 284 though the pitch is looking so slow that see off the new ball & knuckle down and you should be able to stay at the crease for a long time. The worry with the Eng batting is the "knuckle down" part.
Wicket in the cricket..........205-4.........................lead is 115............Smith still there 
Lead is 355.........3 wkts. remaining............England in the **** 
13 overs left today, England will be made to bat before close of play
13 overs left today, England will be made to bat before close of play
Declaration for the Aussies (487/7)...England need 398 to win the test and have to face 6 or 7 overs before close of play
So England have a day batting or 400 to get.
Don’t think seeing out the overs will be an issue.
They only have the one spinner and if can keep him quiet.
Hmm....Nathan Lyon............good luck with that
He is no Shane Warne..
Only 6 wickets to spin I think so far? That’s from the 27.
I'm thinking 5th day and a wearing strip, footmarks etc.
True, he's no Warne but he will take a few today
