Decent applause as well for the most part tbh

 

[mr_mister]

Now double it smiffy

****ing hell, this is brilliant. The best knock of the last few years. Away from home, against a strong attack, tough conditions and no one else scored 50. Incredible. That's all I've got.

 

[vcs]

Awesome knock, well played.

 

[Burgey]

What a player. Just an unbelievable batsman. Makes runs everywhere against everyone. He’s the most complete test batsman I reckon I’ve ever seen. Just churns them out like no one else. Absolute run machine.

 

[Arachnodouche]

They're booing a hundred? Annoying chihuahuas.

 

[NUFAN]

Excellent knock. What a champion.

Mate come on it's a great knock but Kusal Perera ended this debate probably for the rest of existence.

Beats being silent like they do India when an opposition bat does anything.

 

[vcs]

Not one to criticize a bit of booing usually but that was a poor response from the crowd there.

 

[Spintolose]

Well played the Australian Maradona.

?

 

[mr_mister]

He's made England his bitch in recent times hasn't he

 

[trundler]

This has renewed my love of test cricket, even though it didn't need any renewal. Just amazing.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

There won’t be a better innings this series. Unless Smith plays it.

 

[Victor Ian]

What a player. Just an unbelievable batsman. Makes runs everywhere against everyone. He’s the most complete test batsman I reckon I’ve ever seen. Just churns them out like no one else. Absolute run machine.

Good to see you've got your priorities right regarding work tomorrow or ashes.

Very enjoyable knock. So good.

Indian fans are horrible unsporting brats for things like opposition boundaries and ****, but hundreds get good appreciation. Smith was applauded pretty graciously for all of those hundreds he made back in 2017 despite him being extremely unpopular among the public.

Hope they keep booing his hundreds all summer tbh.

Still reckon 250 is heaps on this.
