1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[vcs]

Walked on water this game

This innings in particular has been so fluent, reminiscent of his knock vs. England in Perth 2017.

Does this pre-date the exposure as a cheat? Or a post ban nickname?

It's eternal.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Way too many slower balls from the English

He's had it for a long time. Like over a year. I doubt the clutch moment of an Ashes test when Anderson is already injured is gonna be the time when they prioritise workload management.

Don't shoot the messenger

 

[Starfighter]

When will it rain?

Tomorrow probably.

 

[TheJediBrah]

TPC will probably let loose once they feel they have enough runs so things look grim for England.

I hope he doesn't. Just keep trundling along and be not out at the end.

 

[trundler]

Woakes getting sucked into the try to get him lbw trick.

Steve Waugh, a guy who has played against and with some of the best batsman of all time including Lara, Ponting, Tendulkar, Border, Richards and Kallis said in the lunch break that he's never seen anyone like Smith before.

 

[TheJediBrah]

2 noises

 

[stephen]

Belted the cover off it.

 

[Starfighter]

Okay, he hit it. Was dead otherwise.

Pre-dates Rangana Herath great roundness

 

[TheJediBrah]

And yeah, no one is chasing 250 on tomorrow lol

 

[vcs]

England are not completely out of it just yet... need two or three quick wickets though.

 

[trundler]

Good on Joe for not missing that

 

[Starfighter]

Way too many slower balls from the English

Bowling proper, fast cutters is an under appreciated strategy.

 

[cnerd123]

England need some magic here

 

[Starfighter]

Wade trying his best to gift a wicket.

 

[trundler]

Dumb shot

 

[cnerd123]

No Pants is such a club cricket leggie

I like it
