2/129. Wicket for first gamer, Devon Thomas.
Ussy out for 62. Labu 40*.
Aussies v. Windies - Tests.
Flat-Track Bully Steve Smith out for a duck!!
His defective batting technique destroyed again.
You can see his body wanting to square up. So he then chips the ball in the air down the pitch.
Simple c&b by Holder. By the time Holder takes the catch, FTB's chest is front on, facing him. (Watch the replay if you didn't see this.) It's the defective technique of a batter who always swipes across the line to the legside.
................................
Meanwhile...
Can Oz's best batsman, Marnus, collect another cheap, cheap century??
He's 50 not out.
The Test pitches in Oz (and the world) are so flat that it's too easy for him...
But his Sheffield Shield average is under 40!! Test batting is much easier than Sheffield Sheild batting. How sad.

You should check the Shield performances/averages of some famous Aussie players. Shall I start you off ?

All were initially selected ... on potential.

Labu does it, again.
Marnus Labuschange's golden run of form continued, today, at the Adelaide Oval. He duly brought up another century, to add to his 204 and 104* from the first Test.
He and Travis Head are sharing a 180+ run 3rd. wicket partnership. Head also completed a century.
3/312. Labu 116*, Head 101*.

"Marnus Labuschagne's endless appetite for batting has put his name once again among the greats after becoming the second-fastest batter to 3,000 Test runs, behind only Sir Donald Bradman."
