Get smith and its all over

Tbf, SMarsh MK XIII is not a bad player

But what about Mk XIV? Don't forget his rather dramatic loss of form after getting injured in 2011. Although that was a hammy.

Abbott's last over this spell you'd feel, blowing hard. Been immense, though.

Not blowing as hard as Australia's batting tbh.

 

[Top_Cat]

Whoever they're blowing, better pick up their game.

That's unlucky

[GotSpin]

Little lower than expected?

 

[Burgey]

Jeez that didn't bounce at all. Pretty unlucky there imo.

Kept very low and seamed back

99/100 it sails harmlessly by

 

[Top_Cat]

Yeah on the length, Ferguson did little wrong. Bad luck.

 

[mr_mister]

well **** his brother will be even more pissed off now lol


hope Smith and Nevill put on at least 100 here or something

 

[Starfighter]

Did keep a bit low, but I don't think he had much choice with that squatting stance. Still giving him Voges' spot for the next match.

 

[Blocky]

Good god voges. mother****er is leaving with a 60 plus average isnt he

I think it's a good thing, I think it puts into perspective the performances of Pollock and how they're not on the level that people have made them out to be.

 

[Blocky]

Are the commentators seriously suggesting that Steve Smith running across his stumps is a good thing? It might work for him, but it will completely kill any child cricketer attempting to do it.

 

[mr_mister]

haha shots fired

 

[burr]

Smitteh's the new Border.


Awesome bowling

 

[OverratedSanity]

I think it's a good thing, I think it puts into perspective the performances of Pollock and how they're not on the level that people have made them out to be.

Nah come on, 60 average over a period of 7 years with the average still rising at the end is totally different.

 

[Blocky]

Nah come on, 60 average over a period of 7 years with the average still rising at the end is totally different.

I don't buy that.

As much as you could say that disadvantages a batsman, we saw averages in general drop away in the modern era where a lot more cricket was played and a lot more video analysis was present. The bats and pitches changed and suddenly averages went back up, then DRS came in and they're going back downwards again.

 

[Starfighter]

Yeah, don't want reminders of that Hobart test, thank you.
