putrevus Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 What happened to greatest batsman , chasing 320 plus on any pitch is not easy. This was flat pitch yet our greatest batsman could not score run a ball.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk mancalledsting 1 Link to comment
mancalledsting Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) like I said before, South Africa test series 2018 sussed out warner's and smith's deficiencies. Warner, don't go round the wicket and keep it tight on off stump. Smith, never feed him anything on middle or leg, just keep it on off and he will get bogged down. Steve Smith's lucky Kohli is a Unicef ambassador and gave him a charity over from Kedhar Jhadav today as welcome back gesture, or his innings would have looked even more pathetic.

First class Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Played a good test match inning while chasing in an ODI match. His team lost, thanks to him, but he had some decent score under his record. Link to comment

Maybe VK is trying to hype up his competitors so that he can look like the best of an "extraordinary" bunch. Link to comment

Smith's innings was alright :) but his 70-odd in the first match was far better even if the SR was lower. here, if he or khawaja had fallen 5-10 overs earlier, the game may have gone closer since Maddest Max, Stoinis and Carey were constrained by having to force the pace too much.

rtmohanlal Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Smith is great in handling pressure , despite taking all contexts into account ...no doubt ...... but over all he is still far off as a complete ODI batsman than Kohli. A gap of 18 in avg: separates them. Even Smith's countrywise record is very avg: .So Kohli still for me Link to comment

Moochad Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 If we are only talking about tests than he has a case, but he is a non-factor in T20s and he is not so great in ODIs. Warner is better than him in 2 of 3 formats! Link to comment
