1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[harsh.ag]

Deserves to have a term coined for him. TOTOSS - The One The Only Steve Smith.

 

[Malcolm]

This is better than Kohli's 140 odd at Edgbaston last year.

 

[Groundking]

We've ****ed this test away not managing to get Siddles wicket early. Root really needs to stand up in our innings as without Anderson we simply don't have enough fire power to get through them all.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Pretty similar to Kohli's ton only he's actually looked rock solid from basically ball one.

Reminds me of Pujara's knock in Adelaide too. Similar situation, wasn't it?

 

[Pothas]

Ridiculous cricketer.

 

[trundler]

Will Smith get over 550 runs this series?

This is a fairly chanceless knock. Wasn't dropped early on.

Any chane non English or Australian posters can stop bringing up Kholi every chance they get...was just wondering

nah

 

[mr_mister]

The shots are so ugly but always find the gaps ha

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is insanely good.

 

[trundler]

He's just tonking them now.

 

[ScottyMuser]

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.

Apart from in Bangladesh, where in 2 matches he only averaged a smidge under 30.

 

[Groundking]

All this talk from the commentators about needing Express pace in the side is ****ing nonsense Woakes and Broad have been awesome today and it's not the selectors fault Jimmy got injured 4 overs in.

Good to see England getting a taste of their own medicine and failing to finish an innings off.

 

[aussie tragic]

nah

You're right, what was I thinking, Kholi and Siddle should be talked about in the same breath

 

[vcs]

"gets his wife to feed him balls every night"

Plenty on here would gladly feed him balls every night

 

[Spark]

This is like a super obvious ATG innings, right?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Still bitter I see.
