Head high Sam great innings. Momentum is truly with us and Smith/Labs are coming in under less pressure.

If India are smart they'll keep spin on him in the second dig and at the SCG. He isn't a complete cricketer yet.

Has Junior ever watched Usi bat? Like I agree that long on is a shit position this early but Uzi literally comes down the track and bangs spinners straight almost every time he faces one

It’s a match between bat & ball, not body & ball. Blame the Poms and Bodyline.
That was pre helmets and also, more importantly, pre batsmen exploiting that rule with ugly ramp shots.
The time to get rid of the rule was in my opinion when Joe Root said there's no way I can get out with the ramp shot.

I’m surrounded by a room, mixed ages (teens, twenty somethings 40,50,70 year olds) with mixed cricket knowledge and I’ve not seen two dozen people enthralled, electrified and utterly galvanised like this for ages. When Kohli hit Our Sam, it was like Kohli hit em all. Sure, it’s one innings but the swagger, joy and energy probably has just given Australian cricket a massive jolt. And 5-10 mins after being out, Sam’s out there giving autographs and selfies. I hope him well for many years to come.

oh, and f**k India.
