Top notch batting from Midge. Carts Ashtray into the stands.

by Fred Nerk Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:48

Is it just me, or does every bloke between 95-99 incl always have to watch from the bowlers end while ball after ball of crap gets dished up at the other batsman?

by skully Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:50

Settle down, Midge. We still need 70-odd to square the ledger.

by WideWally Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:50

A century to our new captain.
applause

If JGK hadn't woofed him in the UAE, he would have centuries in 3 consecutive tests.

I remember a few years ago one of our forummers would often say "I think they should give Steven Smith a go. He fields well & always has a smile on his face".

............ and look at him now.

Fantastic ton by Tweak. Congrats on joining an elite group of players to make a ton on captaincy debut!!!!!

by tricycle Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:51

The easiest ball to face at 99....

by Fred Nerk Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:52

Smith 103 not.

Already the second best Smith ever to play the game? And how far behind the best?

by skully Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:52

Wow, hasn't he grown as a cricketer!!! Brilliant stuff.

by Ethics? The Gall! Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:52

one more wicket and this game is as good as over. and its looking like smiths the most likely one to go

haddin watson and starc have to be dropped for the next game. rogers is on borrowed time too

His series average after this innings will be a minimum of 317.

This is also Johnno's best batting effort for a fair while unless I'm Murray Walker.

Good point, Nerky. Hopefully he has the sort of career SAffie Biff had.

Midge made a couple of brilliant scores in the Phil Hughes series in SAf. He made a 90 and a 100 with quality hitting.

by skully Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:57

Wow, what counter-punching. 100 partnership!!!

by Henry Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:57

4-0 on the way now. India's resistance has reached it's tipping point. Just like it did on day 1 in Southampton.

by skully Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:59

Good running.

by JGK Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:59

Current partnership 102 runs, 13.0 overs, RR: 7.84 (Johnson 66, Smith 31)

Almost a run a ball in the session with the match on the line.

Some positive batting yes but geez the bowling has left a lot to be desired.

Mitchell Johnson Myth Bust #11289:

It's almost been a case of complacent arrogance by the Bannies. They rightly thought they had us on toast after Haddit's dismissal, but then fired up Midge with some poorly thought out sledging and bowling.

What a session.

by Fred Nerk Fri 19 Dec 2014, 02:03

FFS nobody remind these clowns that by some miracle they're actually still 50 plus ahead on the first innings, it risks them picking up their dummy...

by skully Fri 19 Dec 2014, 03:05

PMSL, Midge flies one over Instant's head at fly slip.

by skully Fri 19 Dec 2014, 03:12

Instant actually bowls a sensible over and troubles Midge.

by skully Fri 19 Dec 2014, 03:14

India now bowling like they should've 134 runs ago.

by Henry Fri 19 Dec 2014, 03:16

My god Ishant is a dumb f*ck. He sarcastically claps Johnson after beating him four balls in a row.....too bad Johnson is already on 82.

Where was this bowling when Johnson was on 0 you stupid ugly, lanky, gummy f*ckhead???!!
