I'll stop harping on about Smith after this... But it really looks a case where the ball is hitting his bat rather him hitting the ball a lot of the time....

case in point

Got a full toss , few stumps outside off stump

Tries to flick it past mid on but goes straight to fielder at half pace of what you should be hitting a full toss at

A Smith in form despatches that for 4 through the covers/mid off region

Head and Smith are batting chalk and cheese, difference is remarkable

I feel he is thinking about too much what's in the crowd where the non-striker is standing.

Its like he has mentally fried himself into looking for perfection with technique and this bubble when facing the bowler.

Just stand there watch the ball and hit it.

Sounds simple but I have heard a lot of cricketers say the best way they got themselves into form is go back to basics and just watch the ball.

Christ they’re giving 6 and Out a heap of airtime. Haven’t heard a shit band get so much press since U2.
100% agree with you

Furthermore, The 6 and Out documentary series is nothing more than one big cross-promotion for McDonalds.

The use of product placement is WAY over the top (e.g. just look at how many times the camera pans to footage of the band members and there's McDonalds bags on the table, or McDonalds products being consumed).

I just had the most craziest idea.
Haydos should do a few net sessions with Smudge to get him to focos on hitting the ball straight down the ground instead of alwaya looking to hit it on the on side #roastme
