G. S. Kohli

International Vice-Captain
Test cricket is best format

Australia only 43 behind as Pat (22*) & Smithy (71) put on Good handy partnership of 54

Not understand why smith played last 2 bad shot ( skyed ) is it Beemer by woakes?

Mostly the runs as I recall. Old Duncan was one of the original keeper-batter beats pure keeper preachers wasnt he
Yeah, I think you're right. Jones had done naff all with the bat in the first three tests, culminating in a pair in the 3rd one. So the series was already decided when Read came in. And Jones' batting had been pretty iffy for a year or so.

I like it when Smith starts slogging. Seems so ungainly. Like when he came out again post-concussion and smacked Woakes around (before leaving a straight one, walking off, then reviewing).
