***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

[Starfighter]

Double in the offing here. Struggling to get Marsh out too which is problematic.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Marsh a great batting partner for Smith; looks so solid defensively.

 

[fredfertang]

It's the hope I can't stand.

 

[Cabinet96]

Where have you found the hope from?

 

[andruid]

Has he stopped hogging the strike?

 

[adub]

New ball needs to bring 3 wickets including Smith. Once it softens up this is a beautiful surface to bat on with a super fast outfield.

If Smith is still in at lunch and we're no more than 5 down it will be a long way back

 

[stephen]

That was a glorious drive.

 

[adub]

oh that was pretty

 

[Cabinet96]

Smith already has as many test centuries as Hammond and Miandad.

 

[fredfertang]

Where have you found the hope from?

It comes naturally to me at the start of every day

That ball will give you something to hope about.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Another magnificent century. I hope he makes 200+ just to rub further salt into the wound of the "we distracted him by chatting to him" club.

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

Morning all, oh ffs we still haven't got this **** out.

 

[andruid]

Smith already has as many test centuries as Hammond and Miandad.

Remember when they were trying to pass him off as a Leg spinner who can bat a bit?

Happier times!

 

[vcs]

New ball will be interesting. England have little choice but to bide their time until then.

 

[Spark]

When Michael Clarke says you're changing things up too much, then you're probably changing things way too much

 

[stephen]

Overton has looked so much better than every other Pom.

If this goes like the Down Under ashes I grew up on, then the fireworks will be coming off the bat.



But then again I grew up on the likes of Symonds, Gilchrist, Clarke and Hussey coming in at 5-6-7

I grew up with Waugh and Border crushing English spirits.
