*Official* Third Test at the WACA

[morgieb]

What?

He may not have a pretty technique, or looked anywhere near solid this innings, but Smith is far from petrified. One of the most confident and relaxed young cricketers I've ever met.

It just seems that his technique isn't very comfortable here.

Yeah agree. You see the way he's played the short ball, he's not played it well but he's not taking his eye off the ball a la Clarke.

morgieb, Steve Smith. Steve Smith, morgieb.

No spinners allowed to bowl in this test apparently.

Yeah and Tremlett's bowled far too many overs.

 

[GIMH]

Australia have rotated the strike well all day. Bowlers haven't had a chance to settle.

 

[Spark]

Yeah and Tremlett's bowled far too many overs.

Finn's bowled too many IMO. No Swann, which is very odd with the old ball.

The over rate o.O

 

[Jacknife]

Smith will end up biting that tongue off of his.

 

[TumTum]

This is the first time we have achieve a healthy run-rate.

 

[Spark]

And again. Does he care there are two men back? Naah.

That was strange.

 

[GIMH]

out!!

 

[Jono]

Close. Reckon not out personally.

No edge on review.

Edit: Going over!

 

[Spark]

That looked very high to me.

 

[vicleggie]

Right then if we have a good day we'll be chasing 400 for victory.

If we have a bad day we'll have to bat 4/5 sessions for a draw.

Can anyone see us pulling off either?

all depends how johnson bowls tbh
if he bowls like he did yday, think 350-400 will be very hard
if he doesnt turn up you guys could do anything

 

[_Ed_]

I reckon this will be overturned as well - just from seeing it live.

 

[GIMH]

Too hhigh?

 

[Spark]

Yep there we go. It's just so hard to get LBWs here unless you really pitch it up.

Haha and that's lunch. That was a highly eventful last 45 minutes or so.

 

[GIMH]

****

 

[Jacknife]

****ing unbelievable.That would have been a great lift if it was out, but there still creating chances and have to keep it tight after lunch.

 

[Jono]

UDRS proving its worth again.

Would love to hear from GI Joe and Sanz on the last two ones given out yet clearly not out.

 

[Nate]

Man there's been some terrible umpiring. We're in Perth, gentlemen.

THANK YOU UDRS
