The Ashes

At this point, happy to see MMarsh hey out immediately after lunch for 49, then Cummins, Starc, and Smith to smash us to a lead (Smith double ton, Cummins Starc 50 each) and declare.

Then bowl the poms out tonight for 58.

Smith might well be the freakiest freak who I've ever seen play cricket. He's too crap to be as awesome as he is.

M. Marsh smashing Australia forward.. only a few runs behind now..

NTA

Mitch Marsh highest test score. His tenure in the test side assured forever. Except the 50% of games he'll miss every year, injured.

mimic

And he brings up his ton..

Chris B.

England's selection of fast medium bowlers has no answers in these conditions.

Aussie seamers are generally taller and faster - able to ask more and better questions.

@mariner4life thoughts on this effort?

NTA

Double ton to Smith. Fucking legend

No Quarter

Smith is an absolute freak. Right now he's seperated himself from the "chosen 4". Root, Kane and Kohli have some work to do to try & match his exploits.

Well, Root and Kohli do. Kane can't as we have no fucking tests scheduled.

booboo

Not read recent posts ... but who reckons he'll get 3 hundy?

Mitch marsh got 150? Get fucked. How shit are england?

What are you on about?
Kohli's has 6 double tons.. (3 of them in 2017)

His last 4 innings reads 104*, 213, 243, 50..

.... against Sri Lanka at home... who haven't exactly set the world on fire recently...

Don't get me wrong, Kohli is some player, but Smith is in a league of his own at the moment.

@booboo nup. They'll get Marsh to 200 and think declare with half a session to go tomorrow, then unleash the Quicks.

One can always find excuses.. Smith is batting on a road..
Heck, M. Marsh is on 181*, goes to show how shit England are..

Kohli has 6 test tons against Australia atm, with 5 of them in Australia.. I thought that was quite impressive..

Haha, OK, let's simplify things. Who has the better record overall?

KiwiMurph

@no-quarter Steve Smith has the better test record. Kohli has the better ODI record.

No Quarter

@KiwiMurph yup, I'd have Kohli as the best ODI player. But was talking about tests, hence my comment about Kane.
