Still… You’re saying he couldn’t hit the side of a barn leading into the series. You may not rate ODIs but clearly he was in decent touch. He averaged close to 50 last Shield season. I’m not sure what you’re referring to.

Can tell the Saffas havent played much test cricket of late. Lots of starts but Australia's bowlers are just relentless.
Hey @Jedi_Tiger how'd Renshaw go in the first innings mate, I missed it.

end result is what matters to me...

Well if you're going to the early crow you have to accept that you may need to eat it at some stage.

They say Steve Smith’s fielding is smoother than ever.
He really knows how to sand down the rough edges of his game
does take some screaming good catches though

we should all just forget about that time hey
I cant death ride great players like Cummins Starc Lyon though they are terrific to watch, Cummins is practically an All Rounder
Timed this series well heading into our summer. Will be good to not see a series involving India for a change. Something like 3 out of every 4 summers is England or India. Love the Ashes but feel like India are here way too often.

in this game SA threw away a few wickets from bad shot selection but due to good bowling.
india and england bring something extra to a summer it would be good if they could be here more often the pims bring a good atmosphere
new zealand they play ok as a team but lack that brilliance
i think they can beat aussies but I would want a $3 price to find out over four test series. They should have that grit about them to hang in there unlike the poms. It should be a competitive series.
Do think india get the job done at home against aussies

Yeah I know mate, you’re half taking the piss about it too. We all have a love hate relationship with different things in life. Personally I find it funny, as you know, especially in the face of a MOM performance. But I also find it funny when others get all upset with ya.
He should have retired by now tbh, but we got bigger all coming through.
The SA tail flattered their score, 101 runs between the bottom four. Australia has an uncanny knack for letting bowlers grind out respectable scores.
I'll never get sick of the Ashes but fast getting bored of seeing India here all the time.

some are super passionate about Smith for sure lol
some take their cricket very seriously lol
last summer was outstanding the meltdown from a select person on here about anything negative Steve Smith was too funny
like aussie bowling is sensational
batting is pretty weak i reckon still, last yesr it was Head and Smith that got aussies going, how long can Smith keep going for ?
as i said to Happy yesterday i took some of the draw at $3.20 and laid off my South Africa win bet,
you watch the aussies win now and I get a duck egg this test lol
