MCGGG Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 And became a part timer now :cantstop: He isn't even a part time bowler now, he's an elite batsman, and he'd bat no3 for any team in the world.
brendan07 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 playing across stumps in ashes against sir jimmy and broad in swinging conditions' date=' hell be toast[/quote'] Must have missed his hundred in the last Ashes series IN England then...
David Boon Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 He is way more gifted than most realise yet, he has a gift for being able to see and play the ball very late onto the bat, very unorthadox player whom skills have developed more than anybody would have imagined. He is very tough in the head although he can get a bit fidgety at the crease, in time people will see just how talented this kid is, the world has only just got a glimpse of it, its the tip of the iceburg with SS.
rajmarie Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Really like Smith batting relaxed approach and in control...but no ego at all. Will be one of the top batsman for a long time. But seeing him continuously plummet our bowlers has tired me of him. All the best to him in the future...but get out on DUCK in the final & less then 10 against India in the future games..
AmreekanDesi Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 he creamed the saffers in South Africa and was one of the few (if not only) aussie who left the series in UAE against pak with his reputation enhanced. this is def not just a purple patch. he is the real deal very enjoyable batsman to watch. unbelievable he was not part of their odi squad until Clarke got injured in novemver
vayuu1 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Come to India :finger : We will maul u and ur whole team:double finger :.
HippoSucks Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 he creamed the saffers in South Africa and was one of the few (if not only) aussie who left the series in UAE against pak with his reputation enhanced. this is def not just a purple patch. he is the real deal very enjoyable batsman to watch. unbelievable he was not part of their odi squad until Clarke got injured in novemver When Clarke was injured in November 2014? I am sure he was in the ODI squad before that. I believe he was the Man of the Series in the ODI series against South Africa.
Scarves Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 When Clarke was injured in November 2014? I am sure he was in the ODI squad before that. I believe he was the Man of the Series in the ODI series against South Africa. Nope. He wasn't in the squad.
HippoSucks Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Nope. He wasn't in the squad. I just checked, apparently the South Africa ODI series was in November...
jf1gp_1 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 lets not forget until last night Virat Kohli stood tall against him
TheWall Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Scary thing is is he got his contract as a bowler lol' date=' now he's Australias no3 bat, that's unheard of.[/quote'] :hysterical::hysterical: He has trolled the selectors big time. He's hit the purple patch... have to see how he will cope once it wears down....
Texan Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 We also just kept bowling to his strength. His shuffling in the crease made bowlers try to knock his leg stump out. In turn, he kept scoring easily through the leg side. I have seen this happen to India far too often, more than any other team. When a batsman gets set against our bowling we find it almost impossible to dismiss him. Chanderpaul did that, Jayasuriya used to do it, even de Kock got three consecutive hundreds against us. And Steven Smith just beat the hell out of us.
adi B Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Nah he's just a superman at home right now,even the runs he scored in saf were not typical saf pitch,those were pretty flat.let's see what he does in the ashes in England
Gollum Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 lets not forget until last night Virat Kohli stood tall against him Never never never. Kohli is way below youngsta beauties like Williamson,Smith,Mathews,Bravo,Root etc. He is good only in meaningless JAMODIs in phattas.
CoverDrive Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 we had no answers for him. if he had got out early we would have had a very good chance to win. rest of the batsmen were struggling.
