He needs grass and overhead conditions.He is not getting any such wickets.

[DeepSpace]

Why they persist with Jimmy? What about Josh Tongue? He bowled well at Lords.

Umpire Menon bhai refusing to give Smith out 

[cowboysfan]

finally Smith penchant of walking across gets him out.

[cowboysfan]

Head is a huge suspect against the short ball.

[putrevus]

Maybe reflexes are slowing down, he always finds to bat on ball even when he walks across the stumps.

[Vijy]

wood has the firepower to dismiss the declining smith. and travball is a sitting duck against him

servicing stokes, and getting his spot nailed in

This picture needs no explanation  

Blue -negotiated

Red - out

Engand bazballers will feast on this wicket.Aussies really need a spinner and they lost the best one in this series.

Thrashing coming up for Aus. Bazballers will be licking their lips in anticipation, and Rooty Tooty will want to impose his will on the Ozzie medium pacers

Indian bowlers laid an egg against this Aussie team.No way they should have scored that many runs on that wicket.

 

The more I see Smith this series, the more I feel he might in decline.They gave up too many runs in first innings.

yes, he is in decline (still a good bat though) and wood's fast pace makes it hard to handle

Broad and Ali got him last test.So it is not just pace of Wood.He is still better than any of our batsmen though.
