Never thought I'd see the day when Smith has looked a different class to the rest of the batsmen

 

[Spikey]

sadly, that will probably be 9 50's straight without a ton for Smitteh. still, WAG

 

[ganeshran]

need to pick one more wicket before end of day

He is a chucker on the Bedi scale.

Henriques is a very inconsistent batsman and this is the reason why despite having so much talent he was never seriously considered for the national side, sure having an extra bowling option is handy but that really shouldn't come at the cost of waking weakening an already brittle batting line-up.

 

[BulkBogan]

Smith must play all 10 Ashes Tests regardless of performance.

 

[silentstriker]

Beautiful.

Haha yup...

People surprised at the way Smith has played don't follow Australian cricket properly.

That's just not really true at all. He's not been seriously considered before because he's been consistently mediocre. One ton in 60+ First Class innings for an average in the 30s doesn't really speak to inconsistency, especially since he was rushed into the Test side as soon as he hit that ton.

Haha yep AWTA. Have said he was a better option than Khawaja on batting alone on this pitches ever since we named the squad.

Bit harsh on the lad...he's averaged 39 for the series so far. He batted exceptionally well in the first Test, in the second Test he got one fantastic delivery and was also run out by his team mate.

That was an ordinary shot just now but otherwise he's looked promising. I also reckon his bowling will be more than useful when the rest of the attack is actually doing their job and the conditions are more helpful (the pitches have been utter ****ing graveyards for the fast men this series).

I find this very surprising.

surprised he got to 50 tbh, knew he was good for a classy 30-40

Border reckons 350 is a par score??? The pitch is flat as an infant.

I wonder what Mr_Ronan thinks about Border's comments.
