Well it’s one mediocre side v another mediocre side + Smith. That’s the difference.
However, Smith is going to be very wary of facing Archer when they face each other next after yesterday’s painful couple of balls. Will be interesting now that’s for sure. |
Yes I’d agree with that first sentence summary. They’ve produced two cracking test matches so far though. |  |

Archer has rattled quality batsmen with his short pitched bowling.
He's going to get in back in spades. Let's hope for his sake he can duck. |  | | |

Not sure why umpires called it 3 balls early.
Technically could still have had 4 wickets.
Can be run out off a no ball - no ball would give a free hit. Can be run out off a free hit,
Wide? Run out or stumping possible.
Not particularly likely, that, but surely the umpires should've played the final 3 balls? | | | |

I think both sides are evolving. These aren't 2 settled sides.
Smith is a shoe in for Australia as is Archer now for England.
I don't think either side can say who their best team is.
In some ways the 3rd Test could see changes but in the middle of an Ashes series it's unlikely. |  | | |

You don’t get a free hit for a no ball. | |

The game has evolved bluey. It isn't the late 80's Windies attack that bounced you out.
Umpires warn bowlers for too many bouncers and of course over head height can be given as a no ball. | | | |

Ah, yeah, forgot that's a white ball rule isn't it?
Meh, whatever. | | | |

Most of the pitches in the West Indies are flatter than a witch’s tit these days. Especially when England go there because they deliberately prepare batting paradises so the games go five days and they fill the ground with England fans as much as possible. | |

Smith out of Headingley |  |
| Ever since my son was... never conceived, because I've never had consensual sex without money involved... I've always kind of looked at you as... a thing, that I could live next to... in accordance with state laws. | | Poll: | How do you like your steak? |

I wouldn't bank on that Jim if Marnus Labuschagne replaces him. | |

Marnus is a very good cricketer but not the same class as Smith | | | |
