i would have attempted to swipe it to mid wicket, just like i do every other delivery bowled.

Amazing what happens when a coach is appointed who is a man's man. Who understands our culture, who can sort out the shit in our dressing room. A coach who's been there and freely encourages a frothy after a win. A coach who pisses off the silly rotation system.
We have an opener in Warner who can put a bowling attack on the back foot within minutes. We have a skipper who's tactics are brilliant and is a world class batsmen. Haddin is in career best form after overcoming personal adversity. We have a group of bowlers who complement each other. Harris is all class, Siddle is all guts, Lyon gets better and better and then there's Mitch. We haven't had a quick put fear in batsmen since Thommo. His head is clearly in a better space.
When we took the final wicket I was stopped at traffic lights. The bloke in the car next to me yelled "you beauty", the two young tradies opposite me were high fiving - it's a great day to be an Aussie. One could be excused if one indulged in an extra tinnie or three tonight.
The arrogance is back, so is the swagger and the chirp. But most importantly, for the Australian cricket team and the Australian cricket public - the good times are back.

Good knock by Smith but think Davy is a bit stiff missing out on it

I think they got it right. The situation in which Smith made his ton was much tougher than it was when Warner made his.
First innings knocks are always more valuable than second innings ones unless the team is trying to save a game.

Many questions were asked of personal relationships etc but from watching certain players celebrate hundreds, the win, wickets etc I think we can say the 'bad blood' as portrayed by the media is over and the side is back to is collective arrogant winning best!
Moments like these are why you play the game, a physically and mentally draining game!
