Cricinfo saying Smith played with 96% controlled. I can't check Head's but shows how locked in Smith is

I went to a gym once, I sat on a exercise bike for ten minutes doing the Guardian crossword and decided it wasn't for me.
Just frisbee a weight into the middle of the screen, you’ll be doing every e at the gym a favour.
Also, good for you Phat, long may it continue.
Ready for a big one.
Weather good ATM.

Yep. Should have gone with The Times...I went to a gym once, I sat on a exercise bike for ten minutes doing the Guardian crossword and decided it wasn't for me.
Pitches were flatter. It's really not debatable. I'm not discounting anyone. Tendulkar and Lara are all time greats.Well no, you flat out said pitches were flatter as a way to discount that era which means you must discount the careers of Lara or Tendulkar. Either that or your flat pitches argument is flawed and used incorrectly
Helps there is not much on bar MAFS. I wouldn't even have a clue what else is on the other channels. Cricket is at all all time high fresh off a great series win too, Smith going for 10k too
Not sure why Healy decided to bowl. Did she forget it was a test match not a t20.

Not in the GCC, $5 500ml tins of Lion full strength, Ice cold too, which is a miracle for SL. There’s a tap beer bar just outside the GCC on the grassy hill. About deep cover bowling from the Fort end.Beers on tap?
Drop in pitches don't break up - thus they are often the best for bowling on day 1 when they have more moisture. And short form cricket has resulted in teams not freezing up when chasing for a win. Recent stats have actually advantaged batting second.Not sure why Healy decided to bowl. Did she forget it was a test match not a t20.
I'm with you. Occasionally I enjoy it but mostly it's a drag.I f**king hate every second I’m there but got to a point where if I didn’t, I knew I would never ever be able to be a non-fat c**t again

They played in a different era with different attitudes, different tactics, different range of shots and deliveries employed, different technology and against different players. All they can be judged by is how good they were in their era - same with modern players and those pre-Lara/Tendulkar
We can't really be sure how well Smith would have gone in that era or Lara would have gone in this one, but I think they all would have been greats if they grew up and played in the era of the other.
Personally, I think most sports have progressed with greater professionalism, heaps more training and knowledge and skills having been developed and past down over time. Bradman is the greatest ever as he was twice as good as a his peers, but I think if you could teleport Tendulkar or Smith, etc.. into the 20s and 30s they'd outperform the Don.
I'm with you. Occasionally I enjoy it but mostly it's a drag.
But given the physical state of my 95yo MIL who basically gave up walking 5 years ago (but is a sharp as a tack) I keep at it. More power to you

Not showing on 7plus for me?
Thought it was meant to start early
There were lots of flat pitches back then. There were also a multitude of stinkers as well:
Think back to the Perth pitches of that era: the one Lara himself got 136 on in 1996-97 was the one where Ambrose got his bat stuck in a crack and was run out. Greg Blewett was bowled by a ball that landed halfway down the pitch as Ambrose for the second WACA test in a row had a field day. Sabina Park and some of the other West Indies pitches were minefields as well through the 90s. One test against England was shitcanned as it was so dangerous. SA has probably been pretty steadily difficult all the way through but it had some absolute flyers as well during that time. The Indian decks that Kumble firstly, then he and Harbhajan together used to operate in, were spiteful. Sri Lanka’s from the Murali era right through to Herath were always pretty susceptible to turn.
I would say pink ball tests and some of the changes in ball technology have made movement a bigger factor recently, that’s one thing that has changed noticeably
Good example of stats not telling the whole story.
Yeah thought so but nothing showing at 12:10Play starts at 3.15
