A poster here less than 24 hours ago: ' I don't think we'll ever see a triple century again'. LOL! Can someone pull that up?

That was actually a kind of disgusting little innings by Smith. No method, just slogging

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Brilliant Harry. Ridiculous innings.

300 lead the target I reckon.

First 300 in Test Cricket since David Warner in 2019 vs Pakistan

Here you go. I bet he's pleased about it anyway.

I'm not so sure we will see a triple again tbh.

This modern crop doesn't really have it in them to grind out for that long.

We've only had Warner, Azhar Ali and Nair score one in the last 10 years.

Harry Gooch

Brook has joined some all time English greats with that triple ton, Gooch is the only one I can remember, the others were quite a bit before my time.

 

[Heboric]

Damn just 2 past septuple nelson when the wicket fell, that would have made the match

 

[Chin Music]

but that is clearly what he was asked to do and it was right for the team in the circumstances. I admit I get annoyed with England players who get themselves in normal conditions and then get themselves out with the job not done, but in this situation I can't blame the guy. I've watched enough of him to know he can actually play conventionally. Just did a job for the team and the declaration total isn't so far away.

 

[GIMH]

he is

you're as dumb as he is

 

[PlayerComparisons]

You reckon they’ll prepare another flat pitch? There’s going to be a lot of criticism for this pitch

 

[Spark]

Here you go. I bet he's pleased about it anyway.

He's not wrong about that tbf! That's why most people thought it would be Brook or Jaiswal as they wouldn't have to face a massive number of balls to get there.

To be fair to him he did spend more than a day sat in his pads waiting to go in. He must have been itching for it!
