De Skilliers 119*
Next best score vice captain derpy Davey with 63

He's a freak. Will probably end up the difference in this game.

It's a shame he's not had the run with fitness that Smith or Kohli have. I think he's better than both at his best

One of the all time great batsman; but there must be some serious grey matter clouds in his brain because his captaincy is mush.

It's Ponting all over again. The best bat must be captain.

Even Clarke was really given it for the same reason, although tactically he was a very good captain.

Smith looks lost unless the side is already on top.

138 in front, nearly 120 overs in the field. Khawaja a walking wicket and Smith/Warner can't convert starts. An innings loss may be on the cards here

Great work in the field though Smithy! Lol.

139 is more than we'd like by probably 100....but the pitch looks better for batting, and will be dry for the side batting last.

200 run lead might be enough. Still a huge amount of work to get there. Good test match this

What's remarkable about AB is that he has all the gears... can score a blinding hundred like this or calmly hit 40* off 200 balls to save a test like he did in Adelaide if I recall correctly.

Add in his fielding and ability with the gloves - not to mention his dashing good looks and charming personality - and he really is a rock star of the game.
