    Also, numbers and names on test shirts? I'm not having that

    I'm sure there's a joke there about convicts and prison numbers, but I can't be buggered to work on it.

        I'll take 284 after that start.

        Smith is still the man.

        If Siddle can bowl like he hated, we're half a chance.

          I'm still shocked that anemic vegan is in the team over Hazlewood

            Smith is the fuck man isn't he?

            And he's so interesting to watch. His "technique"looks like he is constantly in a tangle, but he just middles his bail out shots. What a player, but not one you would get your kid to copy!

                    I could understand if it was Warner getting booed but not so much Smith.

                    Really happy he is back and awesome. Love watching him bat.

                      i can understand a bit of a boo when he comes out to bat. But when you score a hundred like that, while your team falls apart around you? On day 1 of an Ashes series? come on

                        It doesn't matter who it is or which country they play for or how streaky it was - a test century should always be a standing ovation.

                          I look forward to Broad having his stupid "O" face ripped off when he comes out to bat.

                          Boo THAT you fluffybunnies.

                                      @mariner4life yeah I thought that was a dick move, from the audio I heard the booing was much louder than any clapping for the hundy. I know it all happened under his watch and he missed a trick on nipping it in the bud, but I just don't have it in me to boo him for it. Davey, fuck yes - but I already didn't like that mofo.

                                      But that booing will continue for the rest of their playing careers, someone will always be in the crowd ready to let loose. Similar to Quade Cooper. Even if the level of spite or genuine grievance goes it'll always be a laugh for some.

                                      He's like Chris Harris on speed AND roids! His hand-eye coordination and awareness of where his body is is off the charts. Plus he's absolutely a nightmare to bowl too, has no dramas walking all over his crease and exposing his stumps to get in position for a shot.

                                        @MN5 I like that you ordered that correctly bro! ha ha ol Harry was a jitterbug at the crease. But I reckon you could argue that Vettori is the most Smith-like BC, he loved walking across his stumps. Don't think Smith quite matches Harry in the field though 🙂
