Cricket

Yes, as a former top order batsmen I love watching the challenge of a fast bowler running in trying to take a batsmens head off. Smith is a cunt of note and he isn't seriously injured. Aggressive, intimidating fast bowling is a beautiful part of the game.

Find it ironic that you, who celebrated Adonis Stevenson being put into a critical condition after getting knocked out have an issue my comments.

Are we comparing Stevenson to Smith? Really?

Given what happend with Phil Hughes a few years back the fact that you're reveling in Smith being hit in the neck would suggest that you're a cunt

That was a savage blow on Smith.

Love him or hate him, (he seems alright to me (cheating aside) England just really struggle to get him out) that was a harsh blow, and very similar to the one that did for Philip Hughes. Zero protection on the neck.

Express bowling from Archer though.

Can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Guess the West Indian attack in the 80s were horrid then.

I have friends that played club cricket with him in Sydney and by all accounts he's an absolute prick. When he got his first IPL contract when he was a ****e leg spinner he celebrated by buying an entire bar Cristal and Red Bull. Complete ******.

Not at all surprised by that, I actually thought about Morkel in full swing when watching that.

He bought a bar Cristal and Red Bull?

What a monster!

Deffo up there the scumbag stakes with Stevenson

Nope, just saying that you have a disregard for human life. I don't want to see anyone get seriously hurt in any capacity, but it is satisfying seeing a ****wit like Smith get one. If that makes me a cunt, I'm fine by it.

Thousands of crickets have been hit by the ball. One tragically had fatal consequences. It's by far the exception, not the rule. In the nets I've bowled short balls and hit teammates on the head and we've all had a laugh about it. One incident, as tragic as it was, won't change my perception.

Monster.

FWIW, I've no issue with the bowling, but you can show a bit of compassion when a guy narrowly avoids getting his head removed.

Probably the most accurate thing you've said. Wow mate, you must have had a seriously ****ty time when you were living here judging by that massive chip on your shoulder. Can I suggest you take up carpentry it'll help with the chip & your anger issues.

Smith out of today's final day and possibly the third test due to concussion.

Massive loss for Australia.

[Buzzo]

Yeah, massive boost for England.

The HIA protocols clearly not up to standard given Smith was allowed back on the field yesterday.

I don’t get taking pleasure in seeing a sportsman injured myself, but it was a Beauty of a delivery from Archer and has ultimately given England a solution as to how they deal with Smith.

Archer trying to kill someone

[Cormack74]

He actually looks mean with it now whereas yesterday he looked a bit bashful.

Headingley has been quite a quick pitch the last couple of years so if we get dry weather (yeah big "if") it could be interesting.

I also wonder whether this may tempt the Aussies to bring back Starc to fight fire with fire.

[Cormack74]

Now Wade, the helmet makers are in for a record summer if Jofra keeps this up.

[Zapater]

Outstanding catch.

[Buzzo]

Draw.
