Smith reacting like he didn't know the bloke was there.
Drowned.Woakes got Davy looking all at sea.
You should always want to get the vast majority of your runs square of the wicket in these conditions against the new rock so I don't know if this says especially muchWarner got vast majority of his runs square of the wicket, probably doesn't have the confidence to drive like he used to so especially vulnerable to full deliveries.
When you have to dig a trench big enough to contain a platoon of gunned down poverty stricken English laddys on the first day of the Somme in your crease just to get your trigger movement right, you're in big trouble.Warner got vast majority of his runs square of the wicket, probably doesn't have the confidence to drive like he used to so especially vulnerable to full deliveries.
I very much doubt anyone was expecting Steve Smith to melon one straight to orthodox deep fine leg first ball at 60/2Reckon Wood was supposed to be in then or just fell asleep?

4th test woakes gets warner
His spread was 30-35 and he got 32 so that's as close to par as you'll ever see.Is that Warner innings considered a pass by Australia? They they talked up his first couple of Tests, probably.
Just has to be aggressive in his running, show 'intent' and as long he lasts an hour for 30 or so, Oz media think he's done his job.

Think a bit hinges on his 2nd innings, and the result of this test, if Aus win and Ashes are secured, he gets his 'swansong' at the Oval. If Aus Lose, and warner shoots anything less than birdie in the 2nd dig, I think he'll be dropped.His spread was 30-35 and he got 32 so that's as close to par as you'll ever see.
