Ashes 3rd test @ The WACA

[danielnajdek]

Underselling it. 250 before stumps. At this rate, there's only one person getting Smithy out and that's himself.

England aren't even trying to get him out. Just waiting for him to play a loose shot.

About the only part of Steve Waugh's game I cared for where his back foot cover drives.

Slog sweep?

 

[yakka man]

Why isn't Overton bowling?

 

[Jakksynn]

Lol smith is genuinely bored

 

[MeltFlog]

At this rate, the only way England are going to get Smith out is if he kicks his own stumps over out of boredom

He looks to be getting a tad bored.

Why isn't Overton bowling?

He should have bowled with the new ball or at least taken it when Woakes did. Woakes is utterly rubbish.

And the cow corner slog later in his career, down on one knee.

Was the Ponting pull shot the best?

My old man would say Ian Chappell but I've never seen better than Ponting.

He had a great cover drive too. In 89 series he was epic in that area.

 

[roscreasl98]

I probably should have mentioned Danny Morrison instead, he was sharp. almost as bad as Chris Martin with the bat though.

Danny had the DK Lillee clone action.

Well done Mitch.

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Lovely 50
#InMarshWeTrust

 

[SSwans2011]

Well done, Marsh. Cash in now.

 

[Gough]

Onya Mitch.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Played Mitch

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Good work Mitch! Looked solid actually. Let's get the next 50 out of the way today mate.

 

[Power Raid]

well done smarsh

 

[The_Reaper]

And to think people here were trying to tell me Cummins and Starc were better batsman than Marsh.

 

[roscreasl98]

Chappelli's was more of a hook shot.

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

How did he possibly get stuck in the rope???

 

[Jakksynn]

Really hope he goes on and gets his hundred. For his own self belief than anything g else.

 

[NSWCROW]

Lol at Johnny Bairstows face

 

[MarkCatsFan]

Good job Mitch, now stick it up the haters and convert it.

Chappell does look impressive at it in old footage before our time but Ponting, Blewett and Elliott were damn fine at after the mid 1990's. Any of them were great examples to follow of playing that shot.

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Hahaha. Like WWE, got the old bullride on the ropes!!
