Great post that.

150 to Renshaw ...great knock

150!​

Both of his Test match centuries have passed the mark, nine years apart.

He brings up the milestone with a reverse sweep for four.

Amazing innings here.

AUS 8-339

Great stuff Matty but every one of those reverse sweeps is making my grey hair curl.

 

[happy_tiger]

Can't leave out the importance of Lyons knock today
A very big 21 so far

Lyons innings cannot be understated, his ton will be balls faced. 76.

Champion @happy_tiger - that's the good news.
The bad news is it's always left to the lower order.

No way Hap. 9 months of chemo a couple of years back and barely lost a follicle. It’s my best feature, I’ve mentioned my big feet but she scoffs. Somewhere between Patrick Swayze and a grey Ray Martin depending on who’s answering.

Lyon 92 balls faced. Good effort.

I was surprised how many runs he'd scored in Test cricket .....1700 odd ....12.3 average ....but no 50s in Test cricket ....have to be the most runs scored without having a 50

Excellent stuff from Renshaw. Nuts he was out of the side for so long.

A great innings from Renshaw comes to an end out 2 balls after tea on 190 after a lazy shot.He has taken us from a weak position when he came in to a dominating one and hopefully secured his position in the team for a while.

Stay tuned folks you never know ya luck, Starcy the first over specialist is up next.

Go Hazo!!!

Bloody hell Markram’s bat looks really wide already, has someone measured it?

Did not see the last session but the wicket now looks like a very friendly track. Odds are low for a draw but if the wicket plays tricks late in the match the spinners may force a result but can’t see it happening.

I heard some of the commentary before the game saying they’d think it might turn they have two spinners in the team and they were probably hoping to bowl last.
