Smith's concussion substitute will be Marnus Labuschagne, who can bat, bowl, and field in this match.

Indeed.....that statement reminds me of Warne going on about how we should show sympathy for “all he’s gone through over the past year”....WTF

The Aussies can lodge a request for an active replacement as the concussion rules allow this.
A like for like replacement. So basically a batsman.
But, failing the test this morning may put Smith out of eligibilities for the next match.
It pitched outside leg, and he hit it 
Review WASTED.
113-4, lead 121

I completely agree and will continue to give Smith and (in particular) Warner DOGS abuse whenever I see them play.
However, even I draw the line at booing Smith when he's taken a 90+ mph one to the neck. Just glad he wasn't seriously injured.
Of course I hope he's injured enough to not play again in the series though. The cheating ****.
Would love to see us try to bash it about after lunch for an hour or so then stick them in......got to be worth a punt with Smith out of the way

With the news that Smith is out at what lead should we declare in an attempt to get ther victory needed?

Put him in the curry
Without Wilf they are bang average so anything over 230 will do

England won’t risk losing this game, probably bat till tea then declare so they can act like they’ve at least attempted to win, absolutely nailed on draw.

Another quick 100 will put the game beyond Australia and they wont chase it.

Pleased they have been a bit more aggressive then I thought they would be. Right to ensure the draw first but giving ourselves a chance.
