  1. 211 lead is already looking pretty good with 6 wickets in hand. Can Smith hang around for another 50 odd, sure looking like it. 50% chance of rain tomorrow, but they mentioned theres nothing ominous. Make no mistake this has been a historic comeback from the 5-23 position we were in. 275 runs from Smith so far.
  2. I think they shut up for that last century Macca. Guess we will just have to wait for the next one!
  3. Bairstow is just having a mare isnt he? What a terrible throw.
  4. Congratulations Steve Smith on a fantastic double hundred.
  5. They were just saying Smith was born 1 week after Steve Waugh got his first century here at this ground in 1989.
  6. So only 4 other Australian batsman have ever posted 2 hundreds in 1 match in an Ashes game. Well maybe Smithy can make it 3! Doesnt look like hes in a hurry to go anywhere. Who the hell places 20 sets of gloves on the grass on the ground that your batting at in a test match?!! For the first time Australia are now favourites in this match. Im just riveted to this. What an amazing game.
  7. Yes agree DJ. The way theyre going atm, they will make 250 lead by tea. Theyve also taken the crowd out mostly. Much more quiet today so far.
  8. He selects himself really, doesnt he. I dont think he is allowed to play any kind of leadership role until March 2020. (Maybe they forgot to tell him that). That statistic that Nassar Insane mentioned before about Smith making over 1000 runs in his last 10 Ashes innings. So in that case he averages over 100 v England for the last 4 years. Thats pretty incredible.
  9. Lets hope McQueen! https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=7+day+forcast+edgbaston
  10. They only mentioned Australia was wanting to score quickly before the pitch disintegrates!
  11. Hes looking a bit better now. Hes now on the same score as the first innings and has done pretty well really. Smith just makes him look bad because hes so good. If we can get to 200 without losing another wicket we are in with a huge chance. Australia into 2.50 from 3.00 at the start of play. England out to 2.10 with the draw now 5.00 from 7.00. (must be a good chance of rain).
  12. Nerve racking start so far. These first few overs could be vital.
  13. Yes your right Macca, i need to watch what i say! Ive had the flu, so im not on top of my game atm.

  16. Ok, my appolgies....i got snowed under at work...give me a tic.
  17. My internet is dropping in and out due to network maintenance. Warner gone again. I thought he might be the one to get going in this series and really give it back to them. A bit disappointing so far. Khawaja or Bancroft need to do something here or our top order is going to look as wobbly as the Pies! Agree re Paine. Smith was a great Captain The current odds are Australia 4.50 England 1.30 Draw 13.
  18. Im sure he has Macca, hes right beside him. At least Warner seems to be having some fun with the crowd. Anderson is hardly moving, looks like he wont be bowling. Not sure what theyre singing to Warner......hes showing them the empty pockets haha
  19. There you go. Now Anderson, this will be interesting to see if he can run.
  20. Yep as Ian Healy just said dig em into him and put the short fielders in. This is Paine i think, he goes on the defensive very quickly. I noticed Smith moving fielders around before. Cant help himself!
  21. Give Smith an over or two, change it up. This could be the match right here
  22. How about a few fast yorkers to Broad!......Hes that tall. ... killing us this game.
  23. Good work Macca, boxing scoring is new to me, so im on a learning curve here. This fightback has Steve Waugh written all over it as they said on the coverage. I cashed out my Australia win ticket this morning, so now we are a huge chance !
