Smith has another ton. 10 in 30 matches.

Easy runs.

Well played Smith, Rodgers will no doubt join him soon. Could be a lot of centurions in this game, most of them England bowlers maybe.

Captain Steely is nailed on for a ton here.

Century for Ginger Rogers.

Oh blimey....... It's hard work, then

My current favourite Aussie is Smithy, so it's nice to see him in the runs.

Nice one GInger. Couldn't happen to a nicer Aussie.

@OptaJim: Smith averages 168.9 in his last nine first innings of match Test innings (8 100s, 1 50)!

flat pitch, not good viewing, both sides should really rack them up here..

by **hopeforthebest** » Thu Jul 16, 2015 4:54 pm

Only have bowlers in my FL team, these pitches aren't going to do me much good.

Might as well open the garage doors and get the Outrage Bus out again.

by **Gingerfinch** » Thu Jul 16, 2015 4:55 pm

Long way to go but the plan must be to bat for all but two days, and get 650 on the board.

Rogers scoring again now he's gone past the ton.

Said on the radio that Smith hasn't scored a second innings ton.

Fifty runs ago I was hoping England would try to bowl dry and restrict them to around 300 by the close, too late for that now.
