I won't be too sad to miss out on watching him either, lots of great batsman you can sit and enjoy, even if they're destroying England's bowling attack but Smith's not really one to enjoy. Appreciate yes, enjoy no. | |

Leaving shortly to watch Smith get a duck on 09:23 - Sep 13 with 1065 views | gainsboroughblue | I find him fascinating to watch too. It's like reaching the highest level of some arcade game which is almost impossible to crack. I'd really like to see Buttler crack on and get to his ton. Leach seems to be the perfect tailenders to hold an end up for him to do so. Maybe Broad's demotion will focus his mindset too. | |

Hope England can string it out as long as possible, or collapse completely and lose by tomorrow. Got tickets for Sunday, so hope to see a full day's play or none at all. | |

Leaving shortly to watch Smith get a duck on 10:06 - Sep 13 with 1013 views | BullardsMagicMullet | England will be all out within the first 20 minutes and Australia will show how flat this pitch is by getting 450+ 7.5 poor dismissals yesterday, Root got a good ball but if he was on the front foot rather than hanging back he would of had a better chance of hitting it. The Curran shot summed up Englands batting, no feet and flashing away miles from their body. | |

Might as well try although that might be out of reach. He needs 300 to get Bradmans ashes record though and that could be on if we can't find a way past him. Sooner or later he has to have a failure though. SB [Post edited 13 Sep 2019 10:19]

He had a failure in the last test. A pathetic 82. | |

Awful I agree. He did still manage to average 147 last test though. SB | |

Buttler stupid shot. Only 3 minutes out, Australia will bat until night with a 200 run lead. | |

Like to think that if Mitchell Marsh can bag a five-for, then Woakes could be in business. Again, it's all about Smith but we could see someone like Warner or Harris stand up as well. | |

England were evens to not reach 450 in any innings during the Ashes. Wish I'd put my mortgage on it. | |

Yup. And Warner's gone again to continue that record. | |

Leaving shortly to watch Smith get a duck on 15:28 - Sep 13 with 836 views | StokieBlue | At least a fifty in every innings of the series thus far. 10 in a row against England. Incredible and annoying. SB [Post edited 13 Sep 2019 15:29]

The 400 would be on if all his team mates were allowed 3 knocks each. An absolute phenom. | |
