Smith saved the team with a superb innings.He was booed and abused by the drunken witless soccer crowd who are supposedly cricket followers and had perhaps his greatest innings.He did the wrong thing in SA and has more than paid for it.At least our governing body took strong action unlike everywhere else where they get a token fine or even honours from the queen
If the poor behaviour from the english crowd continues through the ashes series i shudder to think what the next touring team from the rest of the world squad(England) will get when they tour here next from our crowds

Is it any worse than how we treated Broad?

In my opinion it is much worse. i have never in my life heard players get abused and booed every time they hit 50 or a century

Well I don't agree with that. He copped it in the press, his name slandered and was wrongly labeled a cheat. Regardless, if our crowds react the same way the next series, they are no better than the Poms.
 
Yeah you can keep this thread open for the moment ......

Rest of the World probably slightly ahead at this stage , but until they bat we won't know

I'm not sure who is more frustrating trying to explain stuff to ....

Qld is part of Australia

New Zealand , Barbados ,Ireland and South Africa aren't part of England

The Geography lesson ends here .....I understand no multiple choice makes it hard
 
Smith didn't do anything wrong in SA. Chose to kept quiet, just like all other team members.

Smith is a freak, can score runs anywhere, anytime. I don't care about technique- the fact that he can have 15 months of no test cricket and come in and play an innings like that, GOD like. he should be proud of himself.

Ian Chappell said Rory Burns was a liability and wouldn’t last 3 overs. Looking ok to me.

Horrible looking technique, but whatever works.
 
Anyone else frustrated by the coverage? You can only watch it on Gem. Not on Foxtel, you can barely pick it up on the radio. Can’t even stream it on Grandstand, you need to download the app. It’s a joke.
 
I've given up as well

On the selectors though

Anyone think to explain to the selectors we had to take 20 wickets a game , not 20 wickets throughout the entire series

Garbage coverage.

Foxtel ch 192 is Gem...it's fine
 
they choose to play siddle as they wanted a bowler who could long spells,which I get.suggests that we are playing for a draw.

things don't look good for the bendemeer boy as they are similar bowlers and siddle got runs too.

the poms must have been chuckling when starc didn't play- don't get that one.
and wade has to get runs in the second dig as he doesn't seem to be the right fit at 6 for me.
anyway im not an Australian selector but most aussie cricket fans will have an opinion,of course.
