103 partnership. Delicious

Imagine, this is what Bradman did year after year, for almost 20 years.

We are getting echoes of the Don in Smith this series.

Just incredible.

Huh?

I've just looked again, I do have a laws of cricket book.
Must be a local rule. legit played 18 years of senior cricket not being allowed to have 6 on the onside. Not joking.

 

[1989]

so another ten overs and then declare and have at least 10 overs to bowl ??

More like another five overs, I reckon.

Not enough time. 70 mins left, minus 10 for the changeover.

Bat 5, bowl 9-10.

 

[Jakksynn]

He’s doing literally everything he can to get himself out and the poms are just not up to the task

 

[Belnakor]

those shots are more like tennis than cricket

Victorians...

Smith is one of the best batsmen we have seen in a long time. WoW

Fixed it for you (with the proviso you're not old enough to have seen Bradman play).

Umpires need to take control of England's time wasting. To allow them to come out and re do the lines ONE OVER before drinks is criminal

 

[Visions]

100 partnership excellent work by these two

And Wade who is the usual enforcer has what 26 of them.

the poms are just bowling trash and hoping smith gets out trying to hit something out of the park.

 

[beta_condition]

Smith has the same amount of runs as the next 3 best 3 run scorers.

 

[showusyacunningt]

370's more than enough

they'll lose test championship points, they seem to have no urgency to bowl the overs required.

 

[Belnakor]

we'll want 420 i'd say.

Get to 400, even if that means taking a bit more than 10 overs IMO.

 

[Matthew_Lloyd]

He's taking the piss. He is inventing shots and the Poms still don't even look like getting him out LOL

 

[1989]

Lisa Stkalkhlakhalhkahka does a really good job of stating the bleeding obvious.

 

[WeaselWJ]

We are privileged to watch this man.

 

[Banga19]

I love watching Smith bat, so odd, entertaining, comical, brilliant... I've wanted to see us beat England in England since 05 and watching Smith just dominate like this and win us the series is just an absolute joy. Can't even believe it

You win some you lose some, umpires are never perfect in any sport. You cant expect them to get every decision to be correct. Lets worry about what we can control which are our reviews which are being thrown away

Equally hard for the player to use reviews correctly, and the umpires have only got one ****ing job while players have 15 seconds to decide

 

[Biggie]

Smith has the biggest broadest shoulders of all mankind with the amount of carrying a nation he does.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Win is impossible for them so they're getting an early start on tanking for the draw.

 

[k31th]

such a comical leave... lol
