*Official* 2nd Test at Lord's

Got him both times. Surprised at his figures 29-4-102-2 though after his 7 wickets in the 1st Test. Maybe due to his injury.

Bit sick of people talking about Smith's technique as well.
It's really pretty similar to Amla.

You read my mind
Took people awhile to believe in amla too to be fair.

Amla's technique needs a "kids, don't try this at home" disclaimer attached.

Didn't Bradman walk across his stumps and play to leg a lot? Or did I dream that.
A lot of enormously successful batsmen have done it so I don't even understand what's supposed to be "flawed" about it.

You mentioned technique...I was just giving Root the props for having a wonderful technique, but pointing out technique means nothing really. So the point in mentioning it at all when talking about batting at 3, or mentioning it all the time when talking about Smith, kind of escaped me.

You tell me what my definitive stance is...then I'll tell you if I'm serious.
(Chances are I'm not overly serious).

As an Australian supporter I wouldn't be concerned if Hales held the bat between his arse cheeks while someone spun him around like a windmill.
Begs the question why you jumped in so vehemently then.

It was really just to talk up Smith's successes and Root's failure. It's all I live for.
I'm also equally mystified about all the discussion over Smith's technique. Anyone talking about it still clearly hasn't been paying attention.

I Agree I think anyone who is questioning Smith's technique is a fundamentally flawed human being.

Haha I agree that calling Smith's technique bad is silly, but this is a bit far.
