Steve Smith, 1 wicket in about 90 overs! Don't rate him with the bat, why is he in the team?

Conditions getting better here, clouds lifting and blue sky to be seen, hopefully that is the last of the bad weather for the rest of the Test, if so the Aussies haven't done well enough in only getting 2 wickets.

Because the only thing Australia had to turn to other than him was Beer.

In more ways than one.

 

[SirElliotBennett]

good, should defently get a result

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Trott looks to be in magnificent touch. Looking for a ton from him.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

TV channels should have a red button option whereby you could listen to what was being picked up on the stump microphone.

Would be BRILLIANT to hear whatever Johnson's chirping away to Pietersen, or what the wicketkeepers are jabbering on about to the batsmen. I'm sure it would be too colourful at times for normal TV viewing, but would be great to have the option.

Someone said that about KP erlier and he's still here

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Concentrate, KP.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Good shout, I'd pay extra for that!

There's a few examples floating around on YouTube, one of Mark Boucher springs to mind, going on and on at one of the Sri Lankan batsmen.

 

[SirElliotBennett]

looks like he's going after Smith then

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

On the Sussex message board its known as a "Goatmouth"

 

[Lady Whistledown]

This is the one I was thinking of, it was against Zimbabwe not Sri Lanka.
