The Ashes 2013.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Smith is in instead of Thug Warner because the latter hasn't played much cricket, due to whacking Root.

All I remember about Smith is a) he's shit and b) tried to cheat.

[Dennis Bendtner]

I think about half the players playing this match have some sort of high score against India...very generous.

Any match with P.Kumar in shouldn't be counted as a first class match. Paracricket.

The cricinfo commentator said that if Australia make it to the close at 1 down, they'd stand a good chance of winning the game. Not sure what he's more wrong about - the thought that England couldn't just easily even things up with one good session later on...or the fact that Australia had absolutely no chance of making it to the close without their top order being decimated.

Anderson sledging Smith

Credit where it's due, he can't bat or bowl but he's a fantastic fielder.

Cook's goatee is horrendous.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Sledge like a man you dick.

[Syn]

Anderson covers his mouth and abuses Rodgers

Surely the stump cam would pick it up anyway if he said something truly bad.

[Syn]

Lovely boundary by Smith. Guided expertly to fine leg with the inside edge.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Smith is crap but he's fun to watch being crap. Hughes on the other hand is quite painful.

[Syn]

Among all this chaos, it should be noted that Australia have successfully avoided the follow-on.

Smith

Accidently smashes two fours.

Who the fuck does he think he is?
