Ashes 2019

[ElwoodBlues1]

Agreed.

211 for Smith, now averages 64.64, not quite 99.94 but getting there!

Only the 3rd batsman in history to score 3 or more 200s in Ashes series (Hammond 4, Bradman 8).

Even Captain Paine produced an innings of note.

Now for Starc to show what he can do....

Smith is a freak, no traditional technique, but has an eye like a
dead fish and defies all batting logic, it's great to watch how he
he goes about it.
Paine was better but was dropped twice and they were easy catches.
He is lucky he is the captain and has Smith covering the cracks.
Starc played well, English bowling was as flat as the pitch which helped, Stokes has a buggered shoulder so that might help us too. Can't see us losing and only the weather can save the Poms...
