If it wasn't a no ball it would have been out. Same as if a catch is dropped, if it was caught it would have been out so it was a chance / missed opportunity. Only need 1 element that went wrong but which could have gone right to be a chance.

So basically every hit is a chance because if was up high enough and someone was there it could have been caught.

correct, according to cooper and GIAE

I guess every ball is a chance as the potential of a wicket is there.

Is this a world record for the most times Smith has been mentioned in the one post.

2 times he has been hit by Archer
1 time he has been knocked over by Archer
1 time he was too scared to bat in the 2nd innings.

He has batted well but he has shown small weaknesses against Archer and Leach.

You're right with the last sentence however whether due to poor captaincy from Root or poor execution from the bowlers they haven't capitalised AT ALL

sour grapes much?????...2 things;

1 - anyone who is compared to the Don doesn't just 'bat well'
2 - how many times did Archer get him out???

The only way he should be compared to bradman is that they were both scared to face genuine quicks.

He hasn't but probably only because the time he had him scared and hurt someone else got him before he got a chance. Then he cried off for the next 3 innings.

Hardly sour grapes, I said he batted well. Are you denying that leach and archer troubled him?

Posted: **Tue Sep 10, 2019 4:36 pm**

ave 134 and of the 5X he got out, he sacrificed his wicket for the team 3X

I thought you knew your cricket.....looks like Bummer has more credibility.....

if you had said Broad has troubled Warner.......

Just seen in London, Stuart Broad walking around with warners ugly head sticking out of his back pocket.

I think Steve Smith walking around London with the Ashes in his pocket probably trumps that

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2019 7:57 am**

The England One Day Team walking around London with the cricket World Cup in their hands trumps that.

I recall a certain English person on this forum saying he'd rather the ashes more than a ODI WC once. :wink:

Anyway, one thing I notice that was critical which hasn't been mentioned much, if at all. Winning the toss. Can't stress how important this is these days and Paine has won 3 from 4, unlike our last few series over there (from memory).

Im sure if he was allowed to play by the doctors he would have. No way in hell he wouldn't have been out there if he was allowed to be. The doctors word in sport is final these days, cant just defy orders and do as you wish.

And you say I have no idea, your comment is so ridiculous and untrue.

ps, Poms don't know how to get Smith out, he is taking the proverbial P I S S, everytime he batting!

Considering you've shown time and time again you don't know much about cricket you don't have a leg to stand on. You do after all think the wicket can be made to produce swing

How do you prepare a pitch for swing?

Have you worked out how the pitch would affect your team selection yet?

Do you think Leach and Archer haven't troubled smith?

Don't worry if it was in reverse and Australia won the WC and England the Ashes, Toomer would have written "The England Test Team walking around London with The Ashes in their hands trumps that"

and if it was the other way round, you would still belittle England's achievements.

Its just the circle of life lol. There will always be one up man ship

So you have done a census on whether the Ashes mean more than the W.C. to we English?

Head dropped for Marsh!

Seriously, if you wanted to drop anyone, drop either Wade, Warner or even Paine before Head!

I would of gone with

Warner
Harris
Marnus
SMITH
Head
Marsh
Wade
Cummins
Starc
Hazlewood
Lyon/Siddle

Paine is the captain he stays in the team.
Head is the future he should be playing.
Warner is the one that should go

Harris
Marnus/Khawaja
Khawaja/Marnus
SMITH
Head
Wade
Paine
Starc
Siddle (retirement match)
Lyon
Hazlewood
