    It was a good finish (hilarious too) and another 15 runs more would have been very exciting.

    If Smith had the guts to enforce the follow on this would have finished yesterday.

    They're good too.

    Straya loves getting run down by big 4th innings scores. Bad luck today.

    Pretty happy with the Pakis proving the pink ball at night and in the 4th innings is still playable!

    Yeah but the bets on the subcontinent were all placed on the first innings - if they are chasing 120 to win in either of the next two tests put your cash on Oz.

    When I was growing up playing Mark Waugh was considered the best technique in Oz. Everyone always pointed to him as the benchmark.
    (Correct me if wrong but) he got 20 test centuries and struggled through the last couple.
    Steve Smith and David Warner are both on about 17 each already.

    Quite amazing.

    pretty much. would you ever coach plague jr. to bat like smith? makes me wanna puke.

    at least williamson and kohli look like proper batsmen

    imagine if either waugh was playing on carpark pitches, with enormous bats against pop-gun attacks?

    actually we saw that in the '98 KL commonwealth games when steve waugh invented the slog sweep (allegedly), or the "KL slog" as we called it at school

    if you're looking at numbers alone as well, i think adam voges has the 3rd highest average over people that have scored more than 1000 runs at test level

    Yeah well what can you even coach anyone to bat like Smith (yeh just plant your feet and have a whack.....oh and play baseball to get your eye in son).

    Before my time but as you mentioned with pitches and bats jeez the likes of Border, Miandad and Sir Vic must have been a cut above. Frightening how they'd go today too.
