Another ton for Smith. Has played about 8 or 9 cross bat shots to balls that would otherwise cannon into his pad in front of middle.
He is just at a completely different level to the rest of the Aussie batsmen right now.
Marnus Labuschagne would be earning lots of praise for his performances - except they pale next to those of Smith. -

I feel sorry for junior batting coaches everywhere
I thought exactly that as well. Can hear the conversation now:
"try and stay still"
"but Steve Smith does it"
"yes, but that is Steve F'ing Smith you unco little twat"Actually might be best that I stay away from coaching.

Made 100 more than he would have done if Leach hadn't overstepped. He may have helped save the Ashes in the last game only to lose them in the next ....
Well... 93 or so 😉
But a spinner overstepping? Jeez...
A cardinal sin. I saw Roy(?) drop a sitter of a catch in the slips off Broad around midnight NZT too, the Poms had a day to forget in the field

Roy is fucked - can't bowl, can't bat, can't catch.
Shame he couldn't have been shithouse a couple of months ago....

They're not even letting him open at this point. Sent Denly out there then the big goofball as nightwatchman.

so, this Steve Smith ( i hope i pronounced that correctly) bloke is quite good at the crickets.
His last 9 Ashes innings? 1,149 runs @ 144.
3 centuries
2 double centuries
4 half centuries (one not out)Where is all England's shit talk now?
