Australian International Summer

[helicopterking]

Ali smashed in head at short leg, has gone off.
Australia needs to declare now that he has gone off. And try rip thought the Pakis why the weather is still good.

Shut up Shane, he missed a straight one by 3 inches, it wasnt a slider, it wasnt whatever spin you want to put on it, its a shit shot by someone who is not up to the level

Yep. No sugar coating it, he just missed a straight one

But do we still be persistent with him or is it time to move on??

Time to move on

[Bombers4EVA]

Head?? Who else would slide comfortably into the number 6 role?

[Jim05]

Another dud out that shouldn't get a game.

[RustyCage]

Congrats to Maddinson. He's breaking records with every run he makes. Top score of 22 Not out so far he he he.

Can always rely on you, thankfully this time its what we all wanted. He's missed that by a good 3 inches, not up to it pi55 him off.
Can you do the same for Wade too

Ha ha ha Hmmmm i could. I may have to use my powers for tonight's Powerball. Wade's a spud. He won't make it past 10.

Gone for 9

[Bombers4EVA]

Told ya Wade's a spud. And wouldn't make it past 10.

[Bombers4EVA]

We can always rely on the ICC Test Cricket No12 of the year to get it done. Well done Smitho

Which Aussie has made the most test 100's?

Investigated my own question. Ricky Ponting with 41. Can anyone see Smitho breaking that record?

Doing some maths-
Ponting 41 hundreds in 287 innings= 7 innings per hundred
Smith 17 in 90 innings= 5.29 innings per hundred

On those figures it looks as though Smith is well on his way to surpassing Ponting. Ponting retired at 38 years old with 168 test matches. Smith 27 years old and has played 49 tests so still with alot of cricket in front of him he can rack up some huge numbers.

David Warner is 17 in 109 innings= 6.41 innings per hundred.

Steve Waugh 32 in 260= 8.12
Matthew Hayden 30 in 184= 6.13
Sir Don Bradman 29 in 80= 2.75
Michael Clarke 28 in 198= 7.07
Allen Border 27 in 265= 9.81
Greg Chappell 24 in 151= 6.29

Another stat I've looked at is combining their fifties and hundreds.
Ponting 103 scores of 50+ in 287 innings= 2.78 innings per score of 50+
Smith 36 in 90= 2.5 innings per score of 50+

Not bad for a guy who started out as a half rate legspinner predicted to be the next Shane Warne. That's the thing that amazes me most about Smith, improved out of sight to become our captain and a run machine.

I reckon with Smith the end will come very quickly when it does come, relies to much on the eye.
Hard to dispute with those stats but no way is Smith or Warner in Pontings league

Sometimes I think you must have been in a coma since about Essendons last flag

Yeah I'm still dreaming of the fairytale that might come sooner rather than later he he.

[Bombers4EVA]

People's thought's on a declaration? How many overs can be played in one day if the rain doesn't affect it?

Of Ponting's 168 Tests he only batted once in 49 of them(every 3.43 matches). Smith in comparison is 8 out of 49 (every 6.13 matches). With a batting frequency of nearly double Punter's, Smith is every chance to bat as many innings in his career.
