Appears very restless on that balcony.In what way?

You’re oblivious aren’t you? Just an exceptionally dim human. A bloke literally fkn died from being hit in precisely the same spot, have some respect and sensitivity. Your comment was disrespectful but now you’ve bitten back at anyone calling you out on it. You’re a real tough guy aren’t you.Exactly. It is comical how some people can make such a fuss about nothing.
These are professional sportsmen.
This is precisely why it is called a Test Match. Because it is a test of a players skills and capabilities.
And this includes mental toughness.
Yep. If they get bowled out with a lead of 200 it would be perfect.Only chance England have of winning this is if they get bowled out quickly.
Well not too quickly, they need to bat out the first session at the very least. Bat out the first session, have an hour smacking the Australian bowlers around, have a 50 over tilt with Australia chasing 250 ish (which is possibly a bit risky even for my liking considering the state of the series).Only chance England have of winning this is if they get bowled out quickly.
Sounded like very few people to me. But, yeah, I don't generally care about the booing but in those circumstances it wasn't exactly tasteful.Bit pathetic that Lord's crowd booed Steve Smith when he was coming out back after getting injured.
It sounded way more than a very few people to me. I don't have a problem with booing either but at that moment it was particularly distasteful as you rightly said.Sounded like very few people to me. But, yeah, I don't generally care about the booing but in those circumstances it wasn't exactly tasteful.
Looks nailed on for a draw for me. Don't think England would be brave enough to declare early and have a chance at taking Aus out.Apparently we're starting at ten past twelve. Lunch at half one.
No more rain and we could still have a decent contest. If we lost any more I think the chance of an England win disappears.
Crazy - I was legit happy when he got out with Archer warming up and the new ball in their hand.First concussion substitution. Also how on earth was Smith allowed back on field yesterday? What nonsense.
The press release seems to indicate as much.You'd think if they follow their concussion protocol properly it's almost impossible he plays the next test too.
Said this yesterday, was absolutely ridiculous. doesn't matter what Smith wanted, they gambled with his career maybe his life even. And it looks worse when you see how he got out, clearly he wasn't ok.First concussion substitution. Also how on earth was Smith allowed back on field yesterday? What nonsense.
Such a drama queen.You’re oblivious aren’t you? Just an exceptionally dim human. A bloke literally fkn died from being hit in precisely the same spot, have some respect and sensitivity.

Yesterday's events look stupid on Australia's part now.
Smith will now also miss the next game as those diagnosed with concussion have to take a 7 or 10 day recovery period.I hadn't heard about concussion subs. It sounds a pretty sensible rule.
Didn’t know that... good for them to be taking these things seriously & ensuring players don’t rush back.Smith will now also miss the next game as those diagnosed with concussion have to take a 7 or 10 day recovery period.
Very important for England not to lose today and capitalise on a Smith-less Australia next week.
What are you confused about here?Hold on, is this woman commentating saying back of a length, rather than short of a length?
I don't think this is confirmed, is it? I mean, obviously he absolutely shouldn't play but last I've heard Australia are still claiming they haven't yet ruled him out.Smith will now also miss the next game as those diagnosed with concussion have to take a 7 or 10 day recovery period.

I’d be happy to see them do it but not convinced they’re brave enough.70 runs in next ten overs and declare or is that too risky?
