damn...

 

[freo_leo29]

Noooooo

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Damn! Wanted Smith to get a big daddy hundred

Exactly right and well said. Unfortunately we have a lot of people on this sites who are biased one eyed Aussie cricket fans who are stuck in the Aussie cricket bubble and don't like that Bubble to he burst.

Warner struggled outside Australia consistently and quite rightly copped it. Travis Head can not consistently get the job done outside Australia so quite rightly he should be questioned too. Anyone who doesn't is far too emotional and has a poor feel for the game and their decision making in regards to cricket is lacking a lot. It's stupid actually.

Both Warner and Head are good but they aren't elite. The elite are good outside their home country.

Who said Head was elite?

 

[Neese]

Well done Smith. Soak it up.

Bigfooty rips into Australia's batsmen every away tour.

Random question for the stats fanatics

When a player has 9 centuries and 17 50s (as Head now does) , are the 9 50s that they made in their centuries included in that total of 17 ? Or completely seperate?

Separate you can't double up .

 

[Moonwatcher]

Marsh to walk on a duck?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Bison clinging to a test batting average of 30.

 

[hawkman]

Odds on Marsh walking this innings?

Where did I say test centuries?

Travis Head is a big game player, and has proven himself both at home and overseas in all formats.

If you can't comprehend that then that is a reflection on you and your lack of knowledge about cricket plus a poor feel for the game.

Well this is a Test match. That's the true test of a player - Test cricket.

Good time to get marsh in. Need to score fast if we want a result.

 

[ptrg]

One thing I've noticed that the Indians NEVER do is shake the hand or pat on the back of a bloke who's just gone out after making a ton.

We do it most times, as do kiwis and even poms.

Perfect opportunity as they all ran past him there, zilch. Not even a nod.

Flog nation

 

[LukeParkerno1]

That was a great innings bit of a tired shot

 

[Jimthegreat]

He made one in the Ashes in England. Might have been Lords.

You are correct!

 

[Westend]

Fighting ton by smudge

 

[theiaofseed]

Smith is prone to getting out cheaply after making a century, well batted.


Kayo died just before the wicket.
