That ball to dismiss Clarke yesterday was about as good a test match delivery as you'll see

cracking test match, even if it will only last 3 days!

Concerned about Smith, looks in excellent nick and with the weather much clearer today I have a horrible feeling he may get a big score

Did you see how many of his runs came off the edge yesterday?

Had to play the line, but just enough deviation to beat the bat. Pretty much unplayable.

that their number 5 slot was a choice between him and Hughes. :yikes:

Steve Waugh used to bat 5 for Australia, ffs!

funny for a time yes, but not healthy for Test cricket.

However, watching Smith bat at 5 is a bit sobering. http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/ohwell.gif

bowling attacks and two fragile batting line-ups, of which theirs is almost certainly the more fragile.

I approve of that trait. Couldn't stand Gilchrist's attempts to be Mr Nice Guy.
