No, he’s been playing “ properly”, and been getting out.

Well here goes we are effectively 2-45 as 2 -12 with 33 run lead on 1st innings
Don't know whether it's just a new ball thing but Windies bowlers were getting more seam and swing than we were .
Green very shaky and time to stand up Cameron
Lyon in as night watchman to protect Smith last night
Smith out for 3 in 1st innings because he got distracted by a little kid ?
Weve been relying on 3 guys so far that's Head ,Webster and Carey and it will be likely we need them again .God help us if they fail .
Sun 0ut but rain interruptions likely !

These pitches are complete minefields compared to the road they’re batting on.
Green to get a ton!!!
Lunch interrupted session
21 overs 1-57 today so 3-69 a lead of 102 with 7 wickets in the shed
Smith starting to " find his hands " Green slow but he's still there
What's good is ball is now 27 overs old
India dec 6 down in 2nd innings set England 608 to win in 3 1/2 sessions
Crawley out for 0 . Even Bazball couldn't chase this surely

Now 6 am and Aussies 4-175 leading by 208
Thanks to Smith 70 not out and Green got 52 and chopped on next ball after reaching his 50 .However he batted thru the potentially dangerous period and survived about 130 balls
Head comes in at 4-121 and gets 28 not out at a run a ball which is his normal rate
The Lunch to Tea session has taken the game away from the Windies
That session 24 overs 1-108
Wicket has a lot of variable bounce
Windies will probably have to chase well over 300 and I don't think they can do it !

Smith misses a straight one out LBW and he reviews .My first thought another DRS wasted and I was right .Smith is a good batsman but he has to start accepting that he's out ! Carries on like he's WG grace
Now 179 for 5 lead 213 .Smith added 1 since tea out for 71
Head 31 not out Webster just in .
Now 179 for 5 lead 213 .Smith added 1 since tea out for 71
Head 31 not out Webster just in .
The loss of Smith has forced Head to play more conservative
He was a run a ball and just played out a maiden
Due to variable bounce Windies targeting the stumps
One slip one wide ball Webster knicks to lone man in corden
They had 1 gully no slips .Webster out for 2
Lost 2-7 since tea
Drizzle and Sunshine and Umpires staying on ?
This could liven up the wicket !!

Cheers for the updates Steve
Something ridiculous 2nd ball change
Ball was changed after 32 overs now 2nd change after 64 overs
I hope its a 60 over Ball.
Apparently Ball doesn't go thru hoops ?
Never seen that so often Carey glides a Ball to 3rd man boundary cover!
Now off for bad light 7-221" lead 254
Also strange can see blue sky and some sun but its almost 6pm there
That will be stumps
Today 58.3 overs we lose 5-209 today
2 days left Windies already needing 2 more runs than they got in 1st innings
Think we are in the box seat .

It’ll need to be the extra heavy one.

I reckon 52 is worth a ton on this wicket. 😎

Way to ruin the cricket thread. 👏👏👏
Reckon we have enough now but another 30 or so will seal it.
Feel a bit for Green.
He is not a 3. But a 5 or 6. Free stroke maker but asked to do a job because no one else can
