At 101 overs completed Smith hits another 100 - congratulations Smith.
Australia 3 for 398.
Smith hits a 4 to get his ton then hits two more fours in successive deliveries (that is, 3 successive 4's to end the over).
Smith: ? retired to give other batsmen a go - 111 (dare I say)!!
The number 111 is sometimes called "a Nelson" after Admiral Nelson, who allegedly only had "One Eye, One Arm, One Leg" near the end of his life. (Which is in fact incorrect - Nelson never lost a leg.)
It is particularly known as a score in cricket. A score of 111 or multiples thereof (222 = "double nelson", 333 = "triple nelson" and so on) is considered unlucky by some in English cricket: most famously by the international umpire David Shepherd, who had a whole retinue of peculiar mannerisms - hops, shuffles, jiggles and so on - that he would indulge in if the score was ever a "Nelson" multiple. Particularly if the number of wickets also matched - 111/1, 222/2 etc. (from Wiki)
Watson: 19 not out
M Marsh: 0 not out _________________ “I even went as far as becoming a Southern Baptist until I realised they didn’t keep ‘em under long enough” Kinky Friedman |

36 y.o. Rob Key is one Kent player I remember.
A prolific score in CC, he played 16 Tests between 2002 and 2005 but didn't quite cut it.
Averaged 31 with 1 century. _________________ Donny.

Sids gets the second wicket.
Wouldn't that be a spanner in the works - if he takes a bag.
Kent 2/86.
So far, Rhino has had 7 overs. Nothing spectacular but got through unscathed. _________________ Donny.
