tbh nobody cares about technique in Australia. Bradman had a very ugly technique

agree, the selector don't care for technique in Australia

many of successful Australian batsmen have had terrible looking techniques, all that matter is that you get them, it doesn't matter what it looks like when you do it

Lol yeah, Afghanistan never read a cricket manual with Bradman's pictures on how to carpet a ball to any part.

He farging wrote the technical manual by playing...

WTF goes on here?

I am not trying to take anything away from Crowe but technique and style means shit all. If looking weird and clunky is good enough for the Don its good enough for Smith. Crowes record is "ok" but its only 5000 runs at 45. Smith is already about 2800 runs and has batted 56 innings to Crowes 130

Obviously averages are a little inflated now days but Smith can only bat on the pitches he is given. Crowe wouldn't make an all time Australian side. He would struggle to get into the second 11.

He can't have wrote a very good manual because nobody has really ever batted like him since.

Which part isn't factual? Crowe is your best and averaged mid 40's
So we're going on averages are we?? :lol:

Get the f**k outta here you disrespectful ass-clown... Come back and talk about Smith when he's played 50 or 60 tests.

He's a guy in wonderful form... But he hasn't even played a test against everyone yet. :roll:

Talking about Bradman its interesting how many batsman have terrible eyesight. Bradmans eyesight was awful by the end of his career. It shows that they aren't so much watching the ball like ordinary club cricketers try and do but they stay one step ahead of the ball and calculate where the ball will bounce and wait for the ball there.

You f**king know why it's disrespectful dickhead...

He's saying a guy who has barely played 30 odd tests is a better batsman than we've ever produced??

A guy who hasn't even played a test in NZ before...

Sure the guy is in wonderful form... But that's the equivalent of saying Jesse Bromwich is better than every forward in Australian RL history.

Jesse Bromwich is good, wouldn't say he was great though. Pretty much like the Crowe of footy. There's thousands of Aussies ahead of him in the pecking order.

Brazil is to soccer what Australia is to cricket. Our natural place is on top and we hold ourselves to a higher standard
