130 run session for no wickets.

Pretty good.

Better than good!

Adequate

Even a new ball every over wouldnt help this kind of bowling

I have a real love/hate about Smith but hope he can get his ton. Hope he can before they work out they are bowling crap.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

With how he was batting this morning it's mind blowing that Smith is out there still.
Had the weirdest, most awkward looking strokes I've seen in a long time.
Would be a 100 for the ages if he gets there.

 

[Hojuman]

Do we put them in tonight for 30 mins with rain predicted the next 3 days ?

Was there rain predicted today?

 

[Hojuman]

Was there rain predicted today?

None left SG after yesterday !

 

[Nate7]

Was there rain predicted today?

Yes and parts of Brisbane have had intermittent showers, just nothing consistent.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Not sure how anyone could think that was out.

 

[Nate7]

Akash Deep = The Ball

 

[Sillygit]

Great knock Smith

 

[Grogg]

Now that's the Steve Smith we know. What a tough bastard he is.

 

[Hojuman]

Played Smitty

[gokangas]

Respect, Steve Smith. Excellent 100.

 

[Sillygit]

well at least he hit it this time

 

[Nate7]

Declare, do not use the bowlers, or sparingly at least.

 

[Grogg]

Game changer is Trav. Knock up 350 and have a bowl.

 

[gokangas]

........and we lose 3/11. They woke up.

"They" = Bumrah

 

[Hojuman]

........and we lose 3/11. They woke up.

Ah, new ball, which Starc, Cummins & Hazelwood will be using in 30 minutes.

 

[Sillygit]

I can see the arguments for a declaration, particularly sparing the bowlers from batting. But also, I'd want to keep India grinding in the field for as long as possible.

Let's see what they do overnight. Weather forecast will play a big part in the decision.
