@Billy-Webb I was just watching replay of his innings. It's bizarre. How does he get away with that shit?
Apart from a complete lack of his ability I would have had that crap knocked out of me by coaches before my teens.That made me laugh because I can relate.
I had all the right technique. Problem for me was my reaction time was generally half a second too late always.
Which generally meant... I looked really good scoring really poorly.But back to Smith: I can't recall him being quite so unorthodox early in his test career. Maybe I just didn't pay that much attention... but I think he has worked out a technique that suits him. However, if he loses even a fraction of that incredible hand-eye coordination, his technique is likely to land him in trouble.

And while I'm here, I'm going out on a limb to say I like having names on the back of test shirts.
I just like knowing who the players are when they move about the field. Within a second of turning on the TV I know the bowler and the non-striking batsman. And then if someone is moving in the field I know who they are, rather than having to decipher that fact based off their gait and/or height and/or prominent tattoos or birth marks.
And I don't think they look that bad. I can take or leave the numbers, but the names should stay.
Sorry. Disagree. Hate the numbers.

Warnie says England cant get the runs...
Now DRS ...
As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted...
If England survive the day, without even trying to score, if they just survive, they'll score enough runs.
To my mind it's a win or a loss for Aus. Don't think Draw is an option.

Don't agree. Reckon all 3 are in play.
Hardest is for England to win.
Would need to score at 4.4 -

Whatever the result - this has been a good test.
Aussies on the ropes - make a recovery.
England looking good - but blow looking great.
Aussie with a stirring effort - in the box seats.
England gutsing it out (so far at least).Only complaint - to echo others here... get rid of the bloody numbers on the players shirts!
-
Aussies need a wicket on average every 55-60 balls from here on out.
Strike rate averages of the Aussies:
Lyon - 63.8
Siddle - 62.2
Pattinson - 46.8
Cummins - 46.8 -
Lyon on fire.
Striking at about 18 now.
