Smith looks an absolute class apart at times

Nope, he's just as stupid as the rest of them.

Whoever thought he should bat 3 is an idiot.

Well that didn't last too long

Needed to be a longer time.

Salt is not good enough

Sam Hain should be in the side over Smith.

Hopefully everyone shuts up about moving him up to 3 in tests. Leave him alone where he's done really well.

So what time is England's flight home?

They've got a stop off in Dubai for some much needed golf practice first.

Is anyone surprised though when the blokes in charge are spewing this nonsense. Telling their #3 it's a free hit.

 

[SkyBlue]

The way England play spin, they can make flat decks look like absolute dustbowls at times

 

[Darwin Award]

.... Root,like Williamson before his 133* a week ago hasn't hit a ODI century in about 6 years.

It's been a pretty dynamic top 3 so far.

Out to the middle, back to the changing room. Rarely static.

 

[chris.hinton]

Buttler should be batting at number 3, Smith should come in at 6

At least unlike Williamson he will have a day off next week.

Duckett will save us.

He's gonna take back that record that was taken from him earlier.

 

[trundler]

All of Malan, Roy and Hales would be better than Salt. England phasing those blokes out prematurely is looking pretty hubristic now.

 

[SkyBlue]

This looks like too good a pitch to bottle this chase

I was thinking Bairstow actually.

69-2 @ashley bach

England adopting the more conventional approach!!

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Root should always bat no.3 , the Jamie Smith experiment is just so dumb , you have to earn the right to take a great players position..
