peasy23 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Breakthrough for England as Overton finds a bit of bounce off a slower ball which Paine nicks to Bairstow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeArab Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Australia 380-6. Smith 180 not out. 450 looking achievable just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Kink Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Australia 380-6. Smith 180 not out. 450 looking achievable just now.The ‘achievable score’ just keeps increasing as long as Smith stays in. It’s becoming a matter of what score they will declare at now. Smith is just cruising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he’s out I’d suspect we’ll just see the 3 tailenders bowled out, or Smith will open up to add to the score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigOutYourSoul Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 He’s just so good. Good little knock from starc against Broad as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) Must be thinking about declaring soon and forcing England to bat this evening. Edit. Smith gone now so probably not.

Muzza81 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Lots of rain. Scramble a draw. Take it to the final test. Surely this is the best England can hope for now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Just now, Henderson to deliver ..... said: Must be thinking about declaring soon and forcing England to bat this evening. Don’t think they’ll end up declaring. They do want England to bat but have just decided to smash it until they get put out and have as much on the board 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Cummins usually sticks around a bit and can hit it a bit.

Mitchell Starc is hardly a tailender, as he’s showing just now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 This is quite good fun. Starc and now Lyon treating England's attack with absolutely no respect whatsoever. Smith is utterly superb though. If the Aussies retain the urn he will surely be man of the series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Kink Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Mitchell Starc is hardly a tailender, as he’s showing just nowHim and Cummins are both capable of this but they are both effectively tailenders. Lyon and Starc hve no pressure now, can just tee off knowing their score is big enough regardless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
