Are you shocked DC. Not surprising as I grew up in the Lillee/Thomson era when they were at their most fearsome. Ashley Mallet was the prime spinner of the time.

I grew up in that era too.

Will go to live Shield game, then watch Test in SL tomorrow.

Smith is finding his old form.

 

[Decentric]

Surprised SL dropped Vandersay?

Inglis will be struggling to bat. He has back spasms.

 

[Decentric]

Smith 53!

 

[grazorblade]

reckon we need a 100 run lead, pitch changing pretty quickly....

Smith/Carey becoming a big stand.

This pitch is taking spin. Smith having some luck.

G'day grazor. Deck offering more turn but little bounce. Smith and Carey resurrecting our innings.

Surprised SL dropped Vandersay?

Same here. One of their best first game.

Smith is finding his old form.

Has found it. Is back in his run scoring 'zone'. Close to his 4th century of the summer.

Ditto. Hope TCA keep Tim Ward at #3.

nail biter this game at the moment. Batting last on this pitch looks a massive disadvantage

We gonna need a decent lead as have to bat last on what is shaping as a dust bowl.

even 100 run chase would be dicey!

You attend cricket matches? I did. Recall an SCG Ashes match with Lillee and Thommo running rampant over the poor old Poms whod have welcomed the end of the match as a mercy. Late 70s think it was.
