Agreed.

Looking forward to seeing who he blames if someone calls it out in the media...

He's only going at 9 an over, just easing into it.


He's had a good afternoon got the runs per over down to 5.5

I know it's old fashioned crazy talk but the old maxim of bat in partnerships is a well known one in cricket.

Every partnership so far by Australia has been at least 50 runs. Good test cricket

Even Watto would have asked the non-striker.

Then reviewed anyway.

Big opportunity here for Green. Looks like a decent time to be batting.

You never know, an odd creak in the bat handle, and the 3rd umpire will find you've hit it!

3 of his last four dismissals have been "strangled" down leg side

Green was 30 away from saving his spot.

Seems a bit weird when you have near on 450 on the board but bit disappointed with some of our cricket today and feel we are going to leave about 200 runs out there.
Flat deck against a mediocre attack who have basically given up and are just waiting for the series to end.
Was a huge opportunity to grind them into the dirt especially when you pick 8 batters.

I know he's on 112 so they need to try something but I've never understood a right-arm seam bowler bowling around the wicket to a right-hander.

Smith does seem to be a tad befuddled I guess.
