I’m not really clued up on how they pick the order but what’s the reason for not having Smith as opening batsman? |
... Because he would have to face the new ball, and batting at No 4 the ball has usually lost a lot of its shine.and is not moving around so much (In the air or off the wicket) [Post edited 7 Sep 2019 17:47]

You just know that this is going to end with Broad and Leach at the crease with five overs to hold on for the draw at 6.30pm tomorrow. |
You think the game will go past tea ? |  | | |

Smith makes the batting side of the game look easy. |
He also not only throws the text book out if the window but rips it up!!!!
Some unconventional and totally unique movements. |  | | |

England 6 overs bowled in 40 minutes. Not timewasting whatsoever. |  | | |

Could be all over just after lunch, could go all the way. This series has been impossible to call with any authority. |  |

Thank you. I always though the best batsmen were the openers. | | | |

Poor shot selection by Smith. It's not as if these Aussies had a train to catch.
If and it's a big IF we can bowl the rest out before the lead is 400 I think we could do it. | | | |

No, the answer to that is Matthew Maynard.  | | | |

Close game out, Smith gets hundred,leaves time to bowl at England tonight.
400 in what 14 overs tonight plus 90 tomorrow? | | | |

With Headingley fresh in the Aussie minds,you wonder if they bottle it slightly and don't leave enough overs to bowl em out. Personally think Starc will cause plenty of damage. | | | |

The only way England dismiss Smith ... Is when he gets himself out. | |

Team under pressure trying to slow the game down. Who’d have thought it. | |

If Headingley hadn’t happened they’d have declared by now. I’ll be amazed if they don’t give themselves half an hour tonight. | |

Let's hope Paine has made a poor decision here by declaring.
382 to win.
Psychologically I'd have wanted England to chase over 400.
We have a chance here. | | | |

Well, duh, but that's the kind of over rate that leads to heavy fines. | | | |

Probably a time wasting exercise.
Was Stokes too injured to bowl ? | | | |
