    Another ton for Smith. Has played about 8 or 9 cross bat shots to balls that would otherwise cannon into his pad in front of middle.

    Archer being saved for the new ball, but besides a short burst this morning hasn't looked near as good as Broad.

      He is just at a completely different level to the rest of the Aussie batsmen right now.
      Marnus Labuschagne would be earning lots of praise for his performances - except they pale next to those of Smith.

              Made 100 more than he would have done if Leach hadn't overstepped. He may have helped save the Ashes in the last game only to lose them in the next ....

                I thought exactly that as well. Can hear the conversation now:
                "try and stay still"
                "but Steve Smith does it"
                "yes, but that is Steve F'ing Smith you unco little twat"

                Actually might be best that I stay away from coaching.

                      This just heightens my guttedness they we missed a year or so of Smith's brilliance because of that smarmy chopper, Warner (Who I also like to watch bat, when he is good)

                        I also hope this test is a draw just to amp up the pressure on both teams for the final test! Winner takes all

                              @Hooroo Jeez nice to have that much in the account!

                              I wouldn't pay that much to drink it off Scarlett Johansson.... OK I lie - definitely would.

                                Hopefully they haven't introduced some obscure test tie breaker like number of nose picks captured on camera.

                                        so, this Steve Smith ( i hope i pronounced that correctly) bloke is quite good at the crickets.

                                        His last 9 Ashes innings? 1,149 runs @ 144.

                                        3 centuries
                                        2 double centuries
                                        4 half centuries (one not out)

                                        Where is all England's shit talk now?

                                          @mariner4life Archer is the only one that stopped him, for a game at least
