And he's gotten out foolishly a couple of times too, could he be the greatest ever?

We are batting England out of the game and yet we are onll playing with only two batsmen.

Really happy to see Paine make some runs. He will always be under pressure until the day Carey takes his spot but he deserves far more credit for the makeover of the Aussie cricket brand. And this is more likely to come when he makes some runs


Agree with your 1st point. Give it a couple more years and he'll be on the T20 circuit only.


Give it one tour of the sub-continent and he'll find an excuse.

Isn't it interesting about the lack of swing out there this series in England. The English bowlers have always been able to get to the ball to really talk out there whilst Broad found a bit that seemed more natural swing earlier in the day.

I'm just wondering where has all the swing gone?

Even the commentators mentioned the English players coming out after lunch with their hands in their pockets. Must have stocked up on mints during the break as the ball was swinging for a few overs afterwards

The transformation of steve smith from being originally picked as spinner/batsmen to easily being the best batsmen in the world is incredible!!! Freak

How good was Starc drop-kicking Broad over deep long on? The straight drive was picture perfect too.

Good because Broad is quality and is always having a dip, unlike some of the other pea-hearts in the English line up.

Finally do you feel the same this morning as you wondered bleary eye into work/uni in May 1995 after S Waugh hit that double hundred against Walsh, Ambrose, and co?

Smith is up there.

Harsh, he is only in is 2nd test match, thats the beauty of test match cricket, it exposes you, he will be good for a long time. He would have learnt more in the last month than he has in the last 10 years.

Hopefully for his sake he's learnt don't rock up on day one bowling half arsed rubbish to the best opposition batsman and try getting him out before he's 200 and the other mob 500.

He was pathetic on the opening morning and I'd imagine some of the English coaches will tell him that in the post match review.
PAFC. Forever.

Broadnis there most dangerous bowler in these conditions. Bowled well do far without the support of his mates out there in the field.

Not harsh at all... i have never seen Pat Cummins just rolling his arm over and with negative body language that Archer displayed in this innings. And he has played more than Archers 3 tests. The first sign it gets tough and he mentally checks out.
Time will tell and he clearly will have days when it falls in place but personally I am happier to have Cummins and Hazlewood than Archer for full hearted commitment.

The telling part was the look he gave Root when he told him to bowl around the wicket.
I agree he will not be playing tests by the end of next year. Purely a gun for hire on the T20 circuit.

Didn't think it was a great declaration last night.
I thought when Starc got his 50 was the time, but instead we batted another four overs, as I think we need to win this test, and as such an extra wicket last night was more important that the last 20 runs - we are only a Labuschagne nick and a moderate Smith innings from being 6/80 in the next test.

Broad's hold over Head has gone unnoticed with all the talk about Warner. Even in the 2nd innings of the first test when Head made 50, listening on the radio, sounded like in the first few overs of that Sunday he had him in trouble.

Boof said the same thing to our tour group. Freddie and Jones were swinging it Irish after thirteen overs at Edgbaston in 2005.
