Agree...although his replacement (forget his name) isn't too shabby. Expect him to replace Wade in the next test. Hope Root can win this test for the Poms, although it will be an extraordinary effort if he does. What's the deal with Warner? It's one thing not to score but dropping those slip catches? Seeing Warner batting in the Ashes makes me respect Smith even more.

Smith? Root? Kohli? Williamson? Not much to rate one over the others, IMO.
