Terrible shot from Smith 2nd time in 2 innings

300 to Warner, brilliant stuff

Amazing, well deserved Davey, stick it up em and go on and smash Lara's record, there wouldn't be a more deserving guy of that record.
Very harshly treated, anyone would think he murdered someone the way some of you here carry on. There is not another player from any other country that would have even got banned for one game of mickey mouse cricket for what he did.

Pakistan will be in their second dig tonight

Warners 335 is the first ever 335 in Test cricket.

Also highest test score at Adelaide Oval.

Previous best was Bradman's 299 not out in 1932

Not even Don Bradman ever scored as much in a Test innings as Warner just did.

They don't deserve to have it save them, if you can't make runs on this road you are a joke.

They only need another 41 to avoid the follow on against Warner

It now looks like a different pitch with Pakistan batting and that comes down to the line and length the bowlers have executed. You look at Warner's wagon wheel, not many runs scored in the V/down the ground and that gives the indication as to how Pakistan bowled, he feasted on anything short and wide. Irrespective of the conditions now our quicks are bowling a decent line and length and really putting the pressure on Pakistan, some on their shot selections have been very poor aswell which obviously doesn't help them. People can say it's a road, Warners a flat track bully, blah blah blah but with Pakistan finishing the day a 6/96 goes to show it isn't a road and if the bowlers put the ball in the right areas for long enough they will get results. You look at the game 24 hours ago and Pakistan had a deep backward point for Warner, what sort of fielding position is that in a test match? And Yasir and Iftikhar were bowling for far too long during last nights night session where it should of been Afridi and Abbas bowling as much as possible under lights.

Shah went for 6.16 an over FFS, figures of 32 overs 0/197 and Musa went for 5.7 an over aswell, they are disgraceful numbers. Abbas bowls a tidy line and length but with 29 overs 0/100 he's had no impact either, like I thought he just looks like he lacks that venom but perhaps under lights with a newer ball he may of been more effective.

One thing I'm happy with Pakistan doing is Babar being promoted to 4, where he should be batting. He looked alot better than his mates at the other end once again.

Great summary TDK.

Their last two wickets wickets were lazy sloppy swishes with 10 or so minutes to go. Unforgivable given the situation of the game.

Absolutely brilliant forecast !

Australia lead the series 1-0
Paine could have opted to bat on and on and on and secure the series
His decision to declare was justified , in my opinion

Should Paine have allowed David Warner to bat on an on an on and try and beat Matthew Haydens 380 ?
Or even press on for a score of 400 ?
He could have because of the 1-0 lead
But if the ridiculous 2 test series had PA 1-0 up, or a drawn 1st test, then the declaration was a no brainer

As soon as the declaration was made, I lost a degree of interest in the match

Well batted David Warner, one of the greatest ever opening batters on Australian pitches
His batting is always a delight to watch
