4th Ashes Test: Australia v England at the MCG, Dec 26-30 2017

Oh captain my captain. Another masterclass under pressure.

It's find any ex-English cricketer day here at Nine.

 

[Bazal]

23 hundreds in 60 Tests.

GTFO.

I know batting has never been easier in 150 years but he's still on track to be 2nd up after the Don.

I've just never seen a batsman look so comfortable from ball one.

Just as a random statistical comment more than anything, if he continued this strike rate and happened to play as many Tests as Tendulkar (51 hundreds) he would make 77 Test hundreds.

Bradman was the 20/30/40’s Steve Smith.

But he only averages 54 overseas and struggled at Edgbaston once facing a swinging duke.

Literally every batsman from 1877 to 1995 was way better. Curators only started producing roads in the mid 2000’s.

Come on Swanny, make it quick, you're eating into valuable time here. Slats is gagging to talk about a past glory here.

 

[jargan83]

Bring back Simon Kerrigan

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

I've never seen anyone make batting looking easier than Smith is right now

Taking the piss atm

About 20 minutes till they call it I reckon.

 

[roofromoz]

OK, we'll leave the colourful and funny anecdotes to Chappelli, if you don't mind.

 

[_snafu_]

This is like watching a Geoffrey Boycott and Chris Tavare partnership.

 

[Hutty1986]

This has been surprisingly bloody good from the Marsh-hole here

 

[Hutty1986]

5004 runs at 76 since 2014 for Smiffy

 

[Sphagnum]

Swanny got punted for dominating those cretins in commentary

 

[Sphagnum]

Great job M Marsh. Needed him to do it and he did.

So Smith averages 63 & Tendulkar averaged 53.
Kholi averages 53.

Perfect example of Malbern’s shit hole status with half the Aussie team wearing hoodies in December.
