150 for Smudge and the 400 is up on the stroke of lunch.

3 wickets and 102 runs in that session.

Well batted Smudger, we've got half a sniff.

Smith has now levelled up with Mark Taylor in test centuries (19)
He's done it in 51 less test matches than Tubby.

Interesting stat that. He's long, long way away from being anywhere near Tubby as a skipper, hopefully the gap closes with time. I reckon Tubs would rather have started his career against a Smudger era Windies than the one he faced.

The gap will close a long way if they win this series! This will be more impressive than Taylor's 1995 West Indies win. And Border's 1989 Ashes victory.

I'd take batting another 50 overs for 100 runs. Grind them into the f***en dirt. A bit Bill Lawry style maybe but sometimes still has its place.

Maybe, I'm from a different era, that Ashes win was like winning lotto for a cricket nuffie back then. AB is our version of a cricketing deity. Without him in the mid to late 80's we were completely fu***d. Not the tactically best skipper we've had but he saved Australian cricket from complete ruin.

I agree. Smith has a similar job AB did. In a different era.
