Right, what England are doing here is utter dross. Spreading the field and basically allowing Steve Smith to just tap a single off the fifth ball and give England maximum one ball at Nathan Lyon.
And then that one ball is rarely even good.
Joe Root is having a low moment as captain right now

This is dire, dire captaincy from Root. Well though Smith has played, it is criminal to allow one batsman such a free ride without trying to get him out. England did this last year with Kohli and the tail and it didn't work then either!

If I was at Edgbaston, I wouldn't boo Steve Smith, I'd boo Joe Root's terrible tactics.

Whatever you think of Steve Smith,,,,the context of this test hundred must be appreciated for its sheer skill, tenacity and single-mindedness. Must rank very high on his list
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
