    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 ....

    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.

    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

    This just heightens my guttedness they we missed a year or so of Smith's brilliance because of that smarmy chopper, Warner (Who I also like to watch bat, when he is good)

    I also hope this test is a draw just to amp up the pressure on both teams for the final test! Winner takes all

    @Hooroo Jeez nice to have that much in the account!

    I wouldn't pay that much to drink it off Scarlett Johansson.... OK I lie - definitely would.

    Hopefully they haven't introduced some obscure test tie breaker like number of nose picks captured on camera.

    Roy is fucked - can't bowl, can't bat, can't catch.

    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?

    @mariner4life Archer is the only one that stopped him, for a game at least

    And now England's shiny new toy looks broken.

    50 overs terrifying a bunch of County Cricketers on a List A wicket is different to Test Cricket, it would seem.

    @Donsteppa Bit OTT Warner's position would be in danger if Oz had any credible alternative.

    Do agree that his best option is trying to hit his way into some sort of form as "batting responsibly" clearly isn't his forte.

    Working out where his off stump is wouldn't hurt either

    Smith is on the verge of winning a series single-handedly. It's phenomenal, and I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it.
