Pre game Justin Langer said of The Joff , that Test cricket is so different to limited overs cricket
The Joff made 12 when batting, Pat Cummins bowled just about every delivery short at him
To me all this suggested that the Australians are aware of the talent of The Joff , and were maybe trying to ruffle him

The blonde Don was well on his way to a 3rd ton in 3 innings this series
In about 350 runs to date in the series, the English attack must be wondering how to get him out
Then it changed when The Joff bowled THAT spell
Thats some of the very best bowling Ive seen in Test cricket


2/59 off 29 overs might not look great on face value, in bowler friendly conditions
However, I consider it 3/59 as he softened up Smith for the other bowlers
If Smith falters for the rest of the series , The Joff should deserve the credit

Also
Lets not forget , The Joff was on debut
I tipping that The Joff will have a great Test career
Agree with some of you there Mal. Archer will be something special no doubt and the challenge had been laid down to Smith now.

This will add to the series even more now.

Smiths return to the crease to face Archer will be riveting and pivotal for the rest of the Series. But I think there maybe others who will fall apart b4 Budge. Warners instant concern and follow up flat efforts in the field show a man who is shell shocked. Already feeling the heat I fear Smiths incident has affected him more... I fully expect a soft dismissal tonight. Uzzie is always suspect in mental toughness so 2 for little will be on the cards against a fired up Archer and Broad.
Conversely I expect Bancroft to hang tough. Technically poor but lacks nothing in bravery so he is one who will take the challenge on.
Talking of hanging tough I thought Cummins and Siddle were magnificent against Archer post Smiths injury. As venomous as Archer waa in his 8 over spell he just got one wicket including 4 overs against batsmen 8 and 9.
Siddle has always had alot of grit about him. Her a real battler that knows how to hang tough.

Cummins is a genuine talent and ozzes leadership.

Both these guys are always up for the fight.

Aussies gone very defensive. England missing an opportunity.... they should be more aggressive.

Only one team can win this now. Poms will have a 250 run lead shortly and that will be more than enough

stokes I think reckon they declare just after he tons up .

50 overs after this one minus the 2 for change over

So, Aussies have to survive 48 overs. Zero chance of chasing this target. The pitch has been pretty docile today, so I'll be disappointed if we can't bat out these overs.
