Certified Legendary Thread 2nd Ashes Test England v Australia June 28-July 2 1930hrs @ Lords

[Santana]

Just stick around Pat and let Smitty go for hell for leather.

Cummins should have come ahead of Starc for this reason

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Cummins unleashes his money shot.

What did Cummo score last test?

 

[kidgorgeous]

This series is now officially over. Incredible that he's scored 12 centuries against England with 8 coming on their soil.

 

[srobbo]

Patty looks good early.

 

[DapperDon]

Bronze him

 

[kozi]

Bazball beating proper test cricket.. in a test cricket game. Doesn't pass the smell test

 

[philreich]

Smith looks like he's only just started - if Cummins and the tail can stay with him, 450+ is still very much on the cards.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

What an innings

Can we dream of 80 more

Genuine chance at equalling Bradman this series.

 

[Cursed Cat]

Aussie motoring along nicely, a few streaky boundaries haven't hurt, but you get that.

Cummins is looking positive, Smith has his eye in to put it mildly. I'd best not say any more.

Smith now the fastest to 32 test centuries with 174 innings over taking Punter's 176

How good, legend!! Our best since Bradman

Better than Greg Chappell? Better than Ricky Ponting?

 

[Foucault1989]

* it I’m naming my firstborn Devereux

Can you pronounce that?

 

[Joffaboy]

The master brings up his 32nd century in his 99th Test with a classic cover drive. Having quite a match becoming the fastest ever to 9000 runs in terms of matches played, which I posted a while back.

Hundred just over every three tests. Amazing.
Bradman ton every 1.79 tests. Bradman still amazes me.

This will get ugly

Lol

 

[Plugger35]

Patty looks good early.

Broad has beaten him several times, he's been lucky.

 

[RookiePick]

Good stop by Stokesy

 

[Headless]

I get it though.

I probably feel similar to how Smith was feeling when I reach 9.

The best part of cricket was the rare absence of crippling negativity. Taking a catch, for example, was only good because it was less bad for a small time.

 

[Dan87]

Well done Smithy

Ponting averaged 60 after 107 tests he was good

 

[ams4crows]

They was a nice shot from Cummins shame it went straight to Stokes sounded lovely off the bat all along the carpet

 

[RookiePick]

Hundred just over every three tests. Amazing.
Bradman ton every 1.79 tests. Bradman still amazes me.

It's like Smith is twice as good as everyone else and Bradman is twice as good as Smith

 

[MinerBoy]

Better than Greg Chappell? Better than Ricky Ponting?

Not for mine. But a superstar whichever side of the debate you reside on.

Punter batted a lot of his career at #3 so pretty good effort by him.
