So one double-century eclipsed by a marathon of blocks. Oh the English dictionary is massively short of synonyms for 'defend', quite what Smith exposed today. Add all his unorthodoxy to it. That wraps it for us from Melbourne. We'll see you in Sydney, with the hope that the pitch is made by curators and not road contractors. This is Vineet Anantharaman signing off on behalf of Abhinand Raghavendran and our scorer Venkatesh. Ta ta!!
