wtf how come the ball's moving laterally through the air in this test match? is this a new thing

 

[mr_mister]

What was that review

 

[Spark]

not sure what smith was doing there encouraging that review

 

[vcs]

That's plumb.

 

[Cubiscus]

What a great selection to play Overton in the deciding test

 

[mr_mister]

Cmon Sids

 

[Maximas]

Was keen to see the two world no 1 ranked players at the crease together tbh

Holy **** Australia are getting Curran'd. ****ing hell this kid is dynamite. No rounder my ass.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Curran has something special about him for sure

 

[StephenZA]

Smith better get to his ton quickly before he runs out of partners.

Sam Curren WAG

The guy is absolute dynamite and just makes things happen.

 

[Bahseph]

That's a ridiculous shot. I don't even doubt that he meant that.

He's gonna be an Ian Harvey type. Moments of brilliance, could see hat tricks with the ball or taking 25 runs off an over with the bat

But can't see him getting test 150s or 7fers

He's bits and pieces but very good at it

 

[Uppercut]

If they’d set the field back Smith would score 1 off the over, Archer would have 5 balls at Siddle and everyone on comms would be ranting about negativity.

 

[Cubiscus]

Hoping for a wholesale change the selection process when Bayliss goes.

The player of the series vs. India, and the best WK can't get a game in a poor England team.

 

[ajdude]

that bouncer was a no ball

 

[Groundking]

I wish Root would learn to not bowl Archer into the ground so much...

This all may be right, and I share your scepticism. But if he keeps putting in spells like this then he definitely can do a job at Test level, and he seems to play well when the chips are down.

Kinda worried about Smith's across movement now.

Six 80+ scores since his test return
