Steven Peter Devereux Smith - Best Test Batsman Since Bradman

[69-05-41]

Smith scored more runs in his first Test back than the mighty Marshtards combined scored from 11 Tests and 21 innings during the entire year Smith was out. Not sure if this is a reflection on Smith's greatness or the Marshmallows' geniusation.

I think I'd still go for Border. Smith is probably the better batsman but Border did it with his captaincy and leadership too. Although I think his captaincy style would be completely unsuccessful and even in many ways unacceptable today, it was what we needed back then

Smith is a very ordinary captain

Ordinary? I think the ball-tampering fiasco shows he was never captaincy material. Our team played like a bunch of children under Smith.

Though I do expect now the captaincy will return to him, as soon as his ban is up. Australian's love runs. Most runs is the captain.

He's a decent batsmen

I thought we were just seeing what it's like to be an India fan

Smith never faced John Snow or Ashley Mallett so therefore he is rubbish.

Another ton for SPD Smith.

 

[DC_fan]

I am not sure any batsman will ever be considered better then Bradman, but Smith is the closest to being so.

Another ton for SPD Smith.

I wanna boof him, no homo

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The poms can't get him out, he's making a very strong case for being number 2 behind Bradman

Smithy > The Don
