So we cant perform any better.

Don't kid yourself Smith won us the Ashes, without him we lose 100%, just like we did we he didn't play.

Don't let victory cover the cracks.

No one is pounding down the door to keep, we are all smitten about Carey because he is a South Aussie, otherwise we wouldn't care.

We've struggled for some time to have a decent keeper.

Love that with the test championship now existing the fifth test still has genuine relevance.

I assume your first sentence is a question and not a statement.

Yes we can play better. Who can't?

I don't agree that we would lose 100% of tests without Smith. the one we did lose will be remembered for all time as that 1 in 1000 results.

Your dreaming if you think without Smith we win those games.

Facts speak for themselves.

Smith plays 100% we don't lose record
Smith doesn't play 100% loss record

That's not a coincidence.

Without him it didn't matter how well Cummins and Hazelwood bowled because wont don't have enough runs on the board.

What about our recent home series as well. Clearly there is a reason he is the Blonde Don, that's because without him our batting line up is F****d and doesn't give the bowlers enough runs to win games.

There is no shame in that unless we had to recruit him from another country,

It is what it is.

Come on Australia.

Harmison sounds bitter

“I don’t think you can forgive him,” Harmison told talkSPORT. “When you’re known as a cheat — and he is, I’m not going to sugar-coat it, the three guys cheated — that’s on your CV.

“You’re marked and you take it to your grave.

“Whatever Steve Smith does, he’ll always be remembered for what happened in South Africa.”

Harmison added that is “something he’s got to live with”.

“I can’t see anybody’s opinion changing on Smith, Bancroft, or Warner. Because of what they’ve done, they’ve tarnished the game,” he said.

Was also part of a team that got away with the exact same thing as Steve Smith was implicated in.....ball tampering but instead of sandpaper it was a pack of mints!

By the looks of Harmison these days it looks like he took up eating pies after his days of bowling them was over

Can anyone tell me how many overs were left in the day when we got the last wicket? Sounds like England took it to pretty late in the day?
