Lots of wickets. Not so many runs. Quite balanced atm

Nice little fight back there by Smith and Marsh.

I love his stance, his movement before the ball is bowled, his swiping of the bat after a defensive shot, his quirks. 
My favourite batsman in the world. 

lastexitlondon

He is very good. His twitching does make me smile. But showing class today

Thoughts_Arrive

Fuck I love him.

lastexitlondon

You are on top now for sure

lastexitlondon

Just one thing why does he spit like 7 times a second??

lastexitlondon

He must have tourettes or some kind of anxiety disorder. But one hell of a player. Hats off

lastexitlondon

England fucked

Thoughts_Arrive

Tension. 

lastexitlondon
