i mean they're teammates at rajasthan so i'm sure they've exchanged numbers yesAm worried Archer has Smith's number
Same. He didn't seem to be worrying him too much until those five or so overs where he really cranked it up but that can play on one's mind even he never produces another spell like that again.Am worried Archer has Smith's number
Ours, minus one man, hasn't been much betterWait, what?
You been watching the same series as me?
Worst English top order I can remember.
His arm his fine. He wouldn't have been able to come out and play that back foot cover drive with a broken left forearm.Depends on if Smith actually broke his arm or not. If it's only concussion he's still in trouble for the third Test but will be back for Tests 4/5.
And Australia only need one more win if this Test is a draw to retain the Ashes.
It's Smith though. If he sees he has a weakness he'll conquer it. Wouldn't surprise me if next Test Archer does the same thing and Smith handles it with ease.Am worried Archer has Smith's number
Maybe. Maybe it might go down like Van Troost and Jimmy AdamsLol no
If he isn't injured he'll be fine. Smith with a point to prove is a Smith you can't stop.
Who knows how he reacts to being hit. Nobody can say how he is going to play the next time Archer is bowling 90mph+ bombs at him.Am worried Archer has Smith's number
He’s the best player on either side aside from Smith. Cummins third.Everyone, seemingly Joe Root included, forgets that he's a thing and can't bring themselves to realise that he's actually good.
If Archer can rattle Smith like that we've got no hope.Wait, what?

Yeah I suspected that was the case, wasn't completely certain it was in writing though. Makes sense that it is though.He's out for the third test if he's concussed, the official protocol rules him out for a period longer than the break between the games
If he has a hairline fracture and pain killing injections he could bat for a short period quite normally.His arm his fine. He wouldn't have been able to come out and play that back foot cover drive with a broken left forearm.

You don’t think he’s been sconed before?Who knows how he reacts to being hit. Nobody can say how he is going to play the next time Archer is bowling 90mph+ bombs at him.
Yeah it's mostly just a function of how compressed the series is.Yeah I suspected that was the case, wasn't completely certain it was in writing though. Makes sense that it is though.
"It was a fair fight apart from one lad having a tactical nuclear firearm and the other a pea shooter."Ours, minus one man, hasn't been much better
Handsome bloke tooHe’s the best player on either side aside from Smith. Cummins third.
