Not sure.

The pitch looks pretty dead so we'll need a 250+ lead. A draw here is not a bad thing though.

how about 400!

Chuck Lyon the ball first up.

Smitty on fire with the bat, why not ball ?

Open the bowling with Lyon. Is that you Warnie?

Won’t be long before there is a ‘The’ in front of Steve Smith’s name

Smiths comeback is extraordinary. His mental toughness must be elite.

Nice cameo by patto and cummins with the bat aswell wouldve liked one more over so patto could make a 50 but oh well. Great innings

I've never fully warmed to Wade but huge respect for the way he's gone back and put in the work on his batting. Six is such an important batting spot in test cricket and has caused us issues for years - here's hoping he can make the spot his own.

" Root did point out that Smith's daunting Test record in England is not quite so imposing when he's exposed to the near-new ball "

Good one Rooty. Wanna try again. Thank the Barmy Army for us too if you can. Doing a great job getting Smitty to those ton's.

Love North BigFooty

How good was Pattinson smashing 6s

 

[hellas_johnny]

just hope patto can stay fit, when u have patto starc cummins richardson hazlewood as your 5 pace bowlers and players like siddle and bird as depth you've got some strong options there.

I've plagiarised this, but;

" in case the 1st test is a draw here is the boundary count AUS 92 - ENG 43 "

Just sayin'

Great bowling. Every ball looking like it might take a wicket

So far, let's hope we get a few early.

Oh dear, how could he give that out?

That's one of his better decisions for the game.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Haha. This is ridiculous, he can't umpire again.

 

[Twinkletoes]

This umpiring is beyond comical. Holy crap! [emoji90]

Jofra was onto it it 3 years ago.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Haha, spot on.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Imagine the fallout for an AFL player saying similar about an AFL umpire.

The Joffra tweets are from his archive that someone keeps tweeting. It's quite funny. Archer is the new Nostradamus
