If the first day or two are rained off the follow on deficit gets reduced to 150 anyway, might be finished before day 4

I think that rule only applies to games that are actually only scheduled for 3 or 4 days. They don't reduce it on the fly.

Steve Smith about to do a Presser….few whispers about he could pull the pin as well

Feels like it's about his time as well.

He's one who was expected to go on until the next Ashes in England or at least next summer

Could start to see the real changing of the guard type thing here

Iceland Cricket has been a great find.

Reckon there comms person also runs the GWS Giants comms, seriously dark humour

We would be left with Head and 5 vacancies

The best kind.

A captain doing a presser the day before a game must mean he is retiring.

I wore my Iceland Cricket shirt to day 2 of the Boxing Day test - didn't bring the same luck as when I wore it to the women's test last year

Apparently just to announce the team hasn't been announced yet

Good. I'm not ready for Smith to go.

They certainly used to recently.

We all know Harry Potter is playing.

I'd be interested to see the examples.

Not if he is still scoring vital middle order runs for Australia. And who do we have at this present time to replace him. Only guy I see with similar ability is Sam Konstas and doubt he is ready for a recall just yet.

He's certainly still up to and replacing him will be near impossible but there are times I wonder whether his heart is still in it.

It’s actually still in the Laws

He's always been a league above Mitch Marsh as a player.

Mark Waugh is a better comparison. Same silky smooth wrists and extra time to play his shots. Very similar record. Uzzy wasn't preferred in his career the same way though.

Mark Waugh was a far superior batsman than Uzzy.

Yep. So pretty much only if day 1 is killed. Fair enough.

Personally I see McSweeney as the rough like-for-like equivalent for Smith.

Sandpaper Smith and Gary Lyon need to f*ck right off. Problem is they will still be around for years.

Great players. But what sane person wants to watch these campaigners bore us all to death for another 15 years?

'Ackshually, I find them to be very entertai...' - shut it hipsters, no you don't.
