Good grief, switch back over to the Cricket and England are 9-2. Root and Roy gone already.

Top order really needs sorting out. Anyone doing the business in CC?

“I enjoy hitting a batsman more than getting him out. I like to see blood on the pitch.” - Jeff Thomson

I grew up in the era of Lillee, Thomson, Holding and Roberts, when we were just soft poms for thinking it was a tad ungentlemanly to bowl bouncers at batsmen who didn't have helmets for protection.

Warner is hardly lighting fires with 11 in 29 balls this series. Maybe having Root at three wasn't the solution. Smith bats at four.

71-4................gripping stuff

Brilliantly poised for tomorrow's 5th day

The hyperbole about Smith is reaching outlandish proportions. He's being called a Colossus and compared to Bradman for his Beethovian symphonic batting but steady on a mo.

He is unarguably an excellent test batsman, achieving a 63 average, putting him in the +55 league of the finest based on average but still a long way behind Bradman on 99, who is the true Colossus all are measured by.

Look at Smith's ODI and T20 and his batting is not fine, it's Salierian, trailing Bairstow and Root.

In a field of short poppies...

Require analysis.

That's requiem

Lunch.......no wkts. down this morning............England lead by 165

He thought it was Smith

Turned into a very very intriguing game. No doubt archer has given this whole team a massive lift
