This could be a very long afternoon...Stokes off, no balls, 2 drops.0

Got to say, I find Smith anything but boring. He’s a great batsman and one of the main reasons I’m watching the Test series.
Fascinating to watch England’s bowlers trying to topple him and seeing his brilliant resistance. Not checked the stats but he usually comes in when the Aussies are in a bit of poo.2 -

That's the spirit, ever the optimist!0 -
Hes only boring in the sense that it happens every single blooming time. He might as well be named Smith 1002

Fingers crossed for a few days of rain here I think.0

I find it all very frustrating, but Smith is anything but boring. Superb batsman1

You know what should be punishable? Bowling anything to Smith that doesn't pitch outside off stump1

He's boring.
When you consider the recent batting greats , Lara,Kohli,Tendulkar,Stokes,KP,ABDV,etc.etc, he would be the last one to get me out of the bar - his style is boring, his face is boring,his idiosyncratic ways are boring ...he's boring , full stop. He only has essentially 2 shots...nudge to leg (x10) and flay through the off side.
He's like the best bat at school, just feck off and let someone else have a go.

I don't know what a late cut past second slip off a bouncer is if not full of flair tbh2

My observation so far in this series, is that we have too many sessions where England have lost the plot, dropped catches, extreme bad batting,extreme bad bowling,body language - all signs of a poor captain unable to motivate his troops.

For anyone to say that Smith is the main reason they are watching the Test series, then, wow, what an exciting life you must lead.Of course, 200 nudges to leg for one are way better than 8 sixes by Ben Stokes to win a match.

Archer completely out of sorts.....little or no aggression seen in any of his lack lustre spells.0
-
England in terrible trouble. A perfect chance for the likes of Cummins and Starc to tee off too0

That table shown by Sky is a shocking demonstration of why we don't win more Test matches - only Bangladesh has a higher percentage of drop catches since January 2018.
They've also said that Stuart Broad has had over a hundred catches dropped off his bowling in his career.0 -
Bairstow injured too?0

The great batsman have two qualities about them - an abundance of time to play any shot and an ability to make it look so simple too. Whether we like it or not Smith has both.5
