I've waited this long to say it, but it's official.

Steve Smith is the best batsman I've ever seen.

All hail the conquering hero

Pack away the trains Quinz?

 

[Dazzler9]

Is Steve Smith the best since Bradman?

That's the wrong question.

This is the right question:

Was Bradman the best before Steve Smith?

My old man told me the same thing the other day. He's a cricket tragic, in his 70s, so I hold his opinion on that highly.

Then again, he also goes for Fremantle and thinks Andrew Gaff is our worst player (pre-last year as well).

How on Earth did a game like cricket that NEEDS good weather get started in dreary old England?

 

[Dazzler9]

How goods Darren Gough and Phil DeFreitas!

The Scots created golf and England was like, "hold my warm beer".

Is anyone surprised? The guy cannot hold a line or length to save himself.

Feels like our last series in India. England will nut this game out for a draw and then smack us in the last game to win back the Ashes in a series where we played the better cricket.

 

[KBLT]

Why exactly don't they start the day early to make up for lost overs like everywhere else?

Sounds like someone's doing loops around the ground in their crop duster.

Once again the incompetence of the umpires ****s us.

Not to mention a wasteful DRS review earlier.

 

[kempy]

There is now no point in having umpires. Decision-making is crap, they miss no-balls all the time. Pension them off.

Paine isn't a very good captain. Simple.

A pair for Warner....

 

[Biggie]

A pair for Warner....

3 in a row I believe

 

[Avalor]

Warner gone for 0 again to Broad. The guy has become a total liability in this Ashes series. Why do they keep giving him a game? Playing one batsman down every innings.

 

[Biggie]

Broad just pissing on Warner and stealing his lunch money.
