I'm not going anywhere Shane but I wish you would.

Some of these shots by Smith are uglier than my first girlfriend.

but but but technique!

It really means very little

 

[Pete Cash]

4500 test runs for smith

 

[Tommy Smith]

I'm looking forward to Smith v Kohli in India.

India will win 4 nil obviously but that duel will be worth watching regardless.

 

[hineyrulz]

Smiffy throws away a ton.

 

[Hutty1986]

Thats about the only way they were going to get smithy-if he threw it away. Another solid knock.

 

[jargan83]

Batted Uzi

Nice half century from Usi

Meh gets one every other game

 

[hineyrulz]

Uzi well done son.

 

[_snafu_]

This fielding is funny.

 

[some11]

So are we looking for 500?

Still a while until lights.

 

[hineyrulz]

Uzi looking good now.

 

[some11]

Who was it that said Usman was hopelessly out of form lol.

His laid back character goes against him when he gets out cheaply.

 

[Incorrect]

So are we looking for 500?

Still a while until lights.

I don't think Smith is thinking of a number/target as such. 300 was probably enough TBH. It's more about what time/how long he wants to bowl at Pakistan tonight.

He might also want to see if Maddinson can knock out another solid 0 or 1 before he declares....

 

[some11]

Oh god, Maddo will be shitting himself.

 

[hineyrulz]

Unlucky Uzi they take a good catch.

 

[Eelectrica]

Guess the Paki's can catch when they want too. Still good catch.
Poor Maddinson though. Almost a no win situation.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Old man Misbah takes a pretty good catch there.

It probably won't effect the outcome but I'm not sure why you keep batting here. The longer you bat now the closer you get to a draw not a win.

 

[_snafu_]

f**k, Maddinson is on strike.
