Smith's last dozen innings against the Poms... glaring weakness in the 140s... best he sorts that out

Looks like he sorted it out yesterday

Yeah hopefully the poor fella is through those horrors

Maybe against a beaten attack, still better than Marsh though.

That was the subliminal point I was trying to make.

Could do with further testing I think.
The fifth test England should let him race to 140 and see if he falls into their well laid trap and gets out.

Just on people mentioning how strange Smith's movements at the crease are - this is what Rory Burns looks like as the bowler is starting their action:

Shit weather. Shit people. Shit country.

As this rain f**kets down I think it's time to say: 'congratulations Australia you have retained the ashes.'

No ginger ninja kiwi thug heroics can win this one.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

The weather providing a mulligan is England's only hope

 

[stryker]

lol

This is the worst English Test side that I have seen in at least 20 years.

But you're right on Smith. We're witnessing genuine sporting genius when he bats.

What whingening pommy thing to say lol...
Take him out of this side and England win the series.

Was hoping for a reprieve from watching the storm. But nah shit weather shitty Manchester
