I really hope he makes me look stupid for saying this, but I think Steve Smith is cooked..
It’s not just the numbers on the scoresheet but the nature of his batting.. he’s struggling to get the ball off the square
JFC our top order is going to have to play the collective season of their lives to give us any chance of beating India this summer
These Indian quicks just ask so many questions
There’s little things he could & should be doing at the crease that would aid his cause imo.. just being more proactive in looking for quick singles etc.. he looks like a lumbering heavy-footed giraffe just having a net
Renshaw is so far off where he needs to be to be a Test player .. he blocked about half a dozen balls during his innings today that were near enough to half volleys on leg stump or in the slot outside off stump..
Just a corpse at the crease
They’ll work through that sort of thing the longer he’s in first class cricket .. fast bowling coaches are pretty good at chopping off any wasted energy or inefficiencies in bowlers’ actions nowadays..
not too many actions like these anymore 😄
Good to see Harcus Marris get a 100 for Victoria, albeit against a pretty average looking Tasmania attack..
We’re going to need every man in form and every bit of luck this summer against that Indian attack
