Didn’t worry once he got Sky working. We
were out much of the day so haven’t seen a lot.

Horrible disrespect by the English supporters. Double up Smudge.
What a sensational innings by Smith here. Starting to get a respectable total here.
Smith 117*
Lyon 4*

Smith bowled going the tonk. Magnificent innings
All out for 284. Smith finished on 144, Lyon 12*
Ok, time for bed!
Could have them one or two down at stumps here. This is not what Roy would have wanted.
Thought they might have sent in a night-watchman
Roy is like early Warner / Maxwell. No real game-situation thought behind his shot selection
Awesome day of cricket to get the Ashes under way. Smith is the best batsmen I have seen play. Amazing how good he is in when the team around him is so ordinary at times. Great support roles played by Siddle and Lyon.
Game on tomorrow. Get a few early ones including Root and the game opens right up for us.

I went to bed at tea. We got to 284??? Amazing.
Well done S.Smith and the two tailenders. If only the top order were as reliable.

So Siddle hey? 44, not bad for a guy no one wanted, hopefully his bowling does the same thing.
Geez we have missed Smith, what a batsman.
284? More than I ever thought we would get on a moving deck with a moving ball.

especially from 8/130 odd !
poms 0/10 from two? Any movement from the new ball?
Don’t think we really beat the bat
Not overly surprised. Carnage for two sessions, then 2/130 or so in the last? Something changed, lol.
