Steve Smith has improved massively since his debut and doesn't look to be stopping.

His technique isn't perfect yet when he started he had a glaring hole which he worked on.

I always say to give them a good year after hitting the heights of his batting to see where he is so a true class player will still be doing well this time next year but so far he is looking great.

Being a little argumentative. Going back to technique, he had a glaring issue and was written off. Maybe there is hope for Ballance yet, who has a massive issue yet still averaging high 40s.

I love how they didn't bowl Anderson again so he didn't get a 100. Poor little darlin

You do realise Steve Smith's batting form started about Dec '13?

He only really started upping his game past an average of 35-40 in Dec 14

I've just watched the highlights of Smith's 200 again and I'm wondering why he was given out? It looked to have struck him outside the line of off stump. He was also playing a shot so according to the laws of lbw, that's normally not out. Why was it umpire's call?

It hit him on line, just, according to DRS.

Thoughts on Neville?
To me he was a breath of fresh air, so much tidier than Haddin. I think they will bring Hads back but I hope they don't.

I think he is going to have a long and successful career playing for Australia

Should Adam Voges not pull up well from the blow to his hip, Peter Nevill more than good enough to play as a pure batsman. His record for NSW is outstanding with the bat.

Lucky (No Swearing Please)!

Australia starting to put the hammer down now. Looks as though we'll only have 8 fielders if we keep falling off the perch. Doesn't look like voges will bat in his regular spot either

Worlds best batsman follows up his 215 with a selfless 58. Rather embarrassingly Ali celebrates after Smith gave his wicket away.
