Test cricket can be a very tough game.

[globaleagle]

1 wicket to go....

hopefully the bowlers will stop doing alpha male bouncers, bowl one on the wicket and so we can all go home!

Smith obliged.

Smith obliged.

I forget he was a leg spinner that could bat a bit at the start of his career (I think).

Anyway...

2-0

Steve Smith's brutal act towards Marnus Labuschagne in Boxing Day Test

Steve Smith was livid with Marnus Labuschagne, banishing him from the slips after a miscommunication at the MCG. Read more here.

au.sports.yahoo.com

Did smith really banish Marnus from the slips or is this the usual yahoo sports beat up?

(side note... yahoo always write over the top headlines...always)

If so...smith is a grumpy old cheating c-head who should be thankful he's back in the team. Better to have two people go for it than nil.

But it could be a beat up so smith is just your average sized c-head.

I don't watch it but I think @Mark from Brisbane was saying they had too many games for a long time.

It seems everyone else was too!

 

[globaleagle]

And awaaaaaay we go!

 

[Seagles68]

[globaleagle]

hopefully not everyone will swish swash swoosh at every ball. Maybe Warner had somewhere to be (lol)

 

[The '47ers]

Renshaw tested positive to Covid, all good, play on. Hahaha how times have changed

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Boom! 💥 and just like that they listen to our @Mark from Brisbane, I didn't read the fine print but I hear there cutting the amount of games way back next TV contract!

3 - 394 at tea

steve smith surpassing sir don surprisingly in centuries

Khawaja 172 not out

 

[Chip and Chase]

@Clint - sorry about the Sydney weather mate. You haven't got to see much cricket so far unfortunately. Hopefully it clears tomorrow and we see 20 South African wickets fall. Watch Lyon make this pitch look deadly, compared to Maharaj and Harmer who have barely turned one between them
