Cricket: International Discussion Thread

Last year he was 160+kg, in one first class game he bowled 60 overs and score a 50 batting. He is big but looks fit enough for cricket.

Ah right, so he can run a bit 160kg! Wow he must have some strong legs and knees to handle that kind of weight.

Haters can hate but Steve Smith is pure class. Also another good performance by Labuschagne.

Labushayne is becoming a rock in the Aussie side.

Labushayne is becoming a rock in the Aussie side.

Indeed. I hope it continues for him.

Day 2: Lunch Break

Lunch: Smith walks off to a standing ovation and he acknowledges with a bat raise. It has been once again him v England. A pretty even session - 75 runs and 2 wickets.

Roy drops a sitter

The break between tests came at a good time for Australia...got Smith back and England's high from the 2nd test looks to have evaporated.

Jack Leach to Smith, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Jack Leach to Smith, no ball
