Paine is warming to this innings. He should take Leach, playing him better than Smith is.

 

[tigerman]

Who is this Leech guys?

He's the guy who was batting with Stokes in the 3rd test, he faced 70 odd balls for 1 run. He replaced Moeen Ali after the 2nd test.

Thanks Tigerman,. My memory is shocking.

Smith struggling a little.

Got dropped off a no ball.

Second new ball taken by England.

130
paine 24

5-292

 

[Leysy Days]

The past hr has almost done it, but 1 more hr of batting from these two takes the game away from England.

Archer's dogging it, bowling mid 80's, after bowling mid 90's on debut, he didn't bend his back yesterday either. He's a massive talent, but test cricket is not his go, too much like hard work.

Was going to post similar there Tigerman.

Huff & puff.
Kids got talent but its hard work out there.

Paine building now. Doing really good with the second new ball.

Archer only two overs with the new ball and then taken out of the attack.

England are struggling out there Tigerman.

Have to grind them into the ground and keep them out there for as long as possible. I would keep batting well into tomorrow .

Dont know if its the wicket but we will get a gauge on it when we ball.

 

[Leysy Days]

Lyon the key for Aus. It will turn and bounce for him.

Yep, i think Starc will reverse it too. Good to see your man Paine getting some runs, good on him.

Yes, Stokes has a sore shoulder so mightn't bowl any more, a good chance to make their bowlers really suffer.

True Tigerman.

Paine finally gets his 50.

 

[waiting]

Few struggling players out there for England.

 

[tigerman]

Archer starting to bend his back a little bit more, bowler one at 91.7 mph and another at 90 that over.

Still some morons booing smith as he passes 200. At least they are reducing in volume as the series goes on.

 

[Baron Samedi]

What a magnificent day.

Now we need the rain to hold off on day 3.

 

[Tigers of Old]

To think Smith has scored that double hundred the innings after being hit in the neck & concussed..

No words.
