f**king Wade. Little unflushable steamer that he is.

I've gotta be up at 5:30!

98* at lunch. Smithy has given us an outside chance here.

Shame Smiffy will have to wait 40 mins but that was a great session for the Aussies

Head really surprised me with his ability to leave the right balls. Didn't think it was in him.

If we can sort out the second opening position and if Wade can translate his domestic form to here we've finally got a strong side

 

[Eelectrica]

Great first session from us. I'd have taken just the one wicket lost at the start.

 

[TheParraboy]

great session, 141 lead

rain seems to be easing off, so will go close to getting full days play

hope we can bat till at least an hour after tea

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Can someone fill me in on 'The Admiral' joke?

 

[Eelectrica]

What ever happens here, I'm happy that we've shown some real fight this game. They had us dead to rights at 8/122

Great session for us, Smith what more can you say about him???? He's an absolute freak.


Trying to join Ransford,Morris,Waugh and Hayden I think for double 100's in Ashes tests. Pretty decent least.

Jokes on them, for Smithy a hundred is just a number.

 

[wilco44]

Smithy!
We need 240-50 runs. Mind you England Weather ..

 

[Fangs]

SPD Smith is a very batsman.

 

[blaza88z]

I told my Indian friend Smith was the best test batter in the world, he quickly wanted to talk about the white ball format which is a clear indication of how good he is and quite clearly the #1 test bat in the world

 

[TheParraboy]

Healy giving it to Bairstow

 

[Bazal]

its no joke...

Agreed.

Jokes tend to be funny

 

[hineyrulz]

Was going to go to bed but the chance to watch Smiffy ton up and a chat with the great man Tugga will see me have another late night.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Public holiday tomorrow in the NT...feel to double up Smithy!
