Had this been Edgbaston, the Ashes would have been ours by now.

He wasn't so flash at Lord's either was he? That first Test must have taken a lot out of him..if only Aus hadn't been so abysmal.

Clarke and Smith share almost identical styles. Clarke's fidgety mannerisms give him away but they're almost copies of each other in certain stances.

Arun: "Of all players that have entered the Australian side in recent time, Steve Smith has been the most impressive. He is a great candidate to build the Australian team around. Once Clarke hangs up his boot, Australia should look to Smith to take over."
This pitch is an absolute belter though. It is turning but Lyon bowling us out isn't something I worry about, there is some swing avaliable with the new and a hint of reverse later on but all in all it is a bat first score 500 pitch. England must respond in kind or its 2-1...

Yeah I guess but he wasn't this bad at Lord's...could be due to a flat pitch tbf.

It's karma - what comes of even hinting at aiming for 5-0.
That and all the leg side **** he's still sending down.
