1/100

 

[Bazal]

100 partnership. 50s to Smith and Marsh....

Marsh cops a lot, some of it fair, but tbh he should be in the side over his brother in the middle order. Good technique, usually has a reasonable temperament and he can play spin better than most of our batsmen.

 

[Bazal]

Awful review from Sri Lanka....miles outside leg

 

[Tommy Smith]

It's a dead rubber so Smith will probably scorea double ton here.

Some of it?

He's been around longer than Sir David Attenborough and yet has what, a dozen 1st class centuries to his name?

Marsh is a complete plod. He'd serve Australian cricket a lot better by studying marine life in the Galapagos Archipelago, rather like Sir David.

Yes but we're comparing him to Mitch Marsh, lol. At least Shaun can play spin

 

[Eelectrica]

Well played Shaun Marsh and Steven Smith.
They're going to have to go quite a bit longer tomorrow seeing as how we've got the worlds longest tail.
But still it's about time someone showed some fight.

Darsh should be our Sri Lankan pitch specialist. The only place he bats where doesn't consistently derp.

yup, we do need to bat all of day 3 to register maybe a 50-100 run lead.
Could be close test match come day 5

 

[JJ]

Australians should build a team around the Marsh brothers tbh, absolute champions...

And on a flat track, or a dead runner, I'd have Smith to bat for my life every day of the week.

Anywhere else, Allan Border

1/182

boys doing well, we should bat out today and have a good lead..

 

[hineyrulz]

Darsh to 99.

 

[TheParraboy]

there it is brilliant ton to SM

1/215

 

[hineyrulz]

Well played Darsh, he's booked his ticket to India with that knock.

 

[TheParraboy]

Captain Smithy gets his ton as well, master class batting from these two

1/227

 

[hineyrulz]

Well played Smiffy.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Australia,what a team

 

[Hutty1986]

There's the ton for Smith on his home wicket in Columbo. Local boy come good!

 

[JJ]

Australia,what a team

Indeed, gutsy backs to the wall stuff when it really mattered... Oh wait...

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Spoilt for choice at the moment.

SL vs Australia
England vs Pakistan
India vs WI

Some cracking good play by all.
