    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    I’d be seriously considering a declaration. That light won’t hold late.

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    He’s about to open the bowling.

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    Smith’s average for the series drops to a pathetic 134.20

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    Smith practicing the uppercut whilst on the deck is peak-Smith.

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    I’m supporting Australia and even I sort-of think Smith should **** off. On the other hand, I think maybe no one else should be able to play because it is his game and no one else is capable.

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    Tbh the attack is good enough to restrict most sides to something Smith can chase. The hard part is finding someone to stick around at the non-Smith end.

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    This Australian side is overly criticised. They have a ridiculously good bowling stock, plus the best non-Bradman batsman of all time.

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    Smith’s a ***y **** with the bat.

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    Wade’s pre-review convinced me that he had hit it. He just seems like the sort of prick to do that.

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    Now that I’ve said this, I’m not convinced he won’t still make 1,000 runs this series :laugh:

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    If Smith ducked that Archer bouncer, would he have made 1,000 runs this series? :laugh:

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    I’m surprised Smith even raises his bat for 50. For him that’s basically just “getting in”.

    Joe Root captaincy thread

    I’m not sure he’s a strong enough personality to captain that team.

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    He can’t help himself, the longer he’s out there the more you see it building inside him :laugh:

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    How good is Ponting on comms btw? As a UK-viewer he’s been a massive breath of fresh air.

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    Leach is leaking runs. England playing as though they don’t have a plan, here. They’re not attacking, but they’re also conceding runs pretty quickly.

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    Is Root even the captain anymore? Stokes got them fired up pre-innings, and seems to be doing a lot of the trying to keep them motivated. Root’s a quality batsman, but I’ve never seen anything from him to suggest he’s a captain.

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    What’s Root up to, here? The plan appears to be hoping for a mishit to get a wicket. Allowing this pair to settle is bonkers though, because they could easily add a swift 50 pre-declaration.

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    He’s been overstepping the full over, lucky boy that he’s finally bowled a fair delivery with the wicket ball :laugh:

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    Archer’s overstepping.
