Remember seeing Smith for the first time at The Oval during the 2013 Ashes. The crowd were constantly making fun of him whenever he was fielding on the boundary, despite him having made an unbeaten century. Pretty sure that doesn't happen anymore.
Every time I hear Steve Smith speak I like him more. It makes his involvement in the ball tampering scandal all the more perplexing. A genuine batting great however. Was deeply impressed with his brave determination to go out and face Archer after getting a very nasty blow to his arm.
He never cheated... Warner did all the work Smith knew it would be something simple like saliva EVERYONE USES SALIVA but that cheater warner used sandpaper
@@yokokurama5174 nope.. Warner and Smith were both responsible for that. Smith knew bancroft was going to use sandpaper.But he didn't stop him.Past is past...Hope for better....
@@swita_mohan yeah true that, smith seems like a genuine bloke who made one (albeit pretty big) mistake. let bygones be bygones i say. as for warner? well, thats another matter...
An absolute legendary batsmen, I would just watch Australia test matches to watch him bat. I think his batting antics make it more exciting to watch him. If he can maintain a 60+ average till he retires then he would have easily been the best test batsmen of this era.
This guy transfomred himself by extreme hardwork, practic, passion, self believe and undefeatable attitude, mentality..and has become the most deadly batsman of test cricket this planet now.. this is unique..I salute legend 🙏🙏🙏
If he finishes with the weight of runs behind him (>12000) and that 60+ average then there's a good change that he will go down as one of the greatest batsman of all time. Commentators these days are so willing to throw around comparisons to the greats of the past but he really does justify alot of his acclaim. Even as an Englishman, I want to see him go down as a legend so that in decades I can say that I watched him bat.
Arbitrary Stuff you’ve also got to take into account, Test Cricket these days is harder, they have to play more often, they’ve also got more formats to play
What's important to understand about Smith's technique is that just because it's not 'pretty' or 'textbook' doesn't mean it's not effective. Standing open allows him to play straight, with balance and leave the ball well. A fantastic batsman
yeah he changed it because people found thr loophole of his leg wicket in open and started targeting it so he made adjustments but now he has weakness for fuller wickts line@@Rob-nl5ge
careful mate, ponting had a career average above 60 after he had played 100 test matches and his average dropped to 51 by his retirement, it depends how long smith plays when the inevitable drop in form due to age comes
He has great awareness of where his off stump is. I remember he won a great appeal against an lbw in the ashes last summer. One of the main reasons he's so hard to get out. Then he just builds runs. Amazing player.
steve smith is the guy you want to chat about cricket. he can tell so many things which other batsmen can't because he figured out his own technique of playing just keeping basics in mind. just love his enthusiasm for game and batting
Amazing how Steve Smith takes cricket so serious.Thats why he is number 1. What about last summer in England with Archer bowling headhunters at Smith,because he was so frustrated at not being able to get Smith out,he had to physically try and knock him out of the game.
@@RkSaha-gh5jv Smith have 11 ashesh ton in 4 ashes against England he has very great chance because from now he can easily play 3-4 ashes so he can equalise aur beat Bradman record
Very very generous of Smith to give Nasir all the info about him even he is aware it can be used to deal with him in Ashes. But I suppose Smith’s self belief is superb that he’ll play amazingly well regardless.
of all the great batsmen i have seen i think he is right up there right now the best batsmen in the game Ab de villers used to be my favorite but this guy honestly is an absolute class
The greatest transformation in cricket history never have I seen any cricket start from the bottom and as a bowler and than becoming one of the greats becoming the one of the greatest batsman of not just this generation but I am talking all time. There will never be another story like this ever
One difference that I've noticed between Smith and Kohli just listening to them talk about their game is that Smith absolutely loves batting and scoring runs for himself, while Kohli loves winning games of cricket for his team and tries to score as many runs as possible for his team in the process. That's probably the thing that makes Kohli a better captain IMO.
Kohli is a better captain simply because he didn't disgrace his country's cap! Don't get me wrong, I'm Australian and a big fan of Smith's batting but he is no captain.
Watch his ashes 2019 test series he could've remain notout in so many innings but he chose not to so that he can boost his team's run rate, in 4th test Match he scored 82 in just 92 balls like he's playing an odi match on a pitch where everyone was struggling to even score 10 runs and yet you're saying that he plays for himself not for his country, just watch the highlights of the first match where he scored 144, he got out both times while trying to hit a boundary and yet you say he's playing for himself, his overall strike rate in that test series was 65, is that the strike rate of a selfish player?
Theres no doubt that he is confident in himself but he sort of comes accross quite shy in the interviews and a little nervous and unsure. I guess he lets the bat do the talking as he is the boss.
What rubbish you are talking 🇮🇳🇮🇳🤮🤮🤮🇮🇳🇮🇳🐕🐕 he is more humble looook at your 🇮🇳🇮🇳🐕🐕🇮🇳 team they are so worst then worst well I hate myself because I'm Indian 🤮🤮😭😭😭😭
Yes.i think you are right virat has to learn from smith.what virat does wrong is that he sometimes loses patience at the start of his innings.if virat plays his first 20 balls patiently by leaving the balls,then he is very difficult to get out.
I remember a comment from an Englishman before the last Ashes series were he claimed Smith would have his pads blown off by the English bowlers. Didn't work out for him did it.
India and NZ have found out a way of dismissing Smith by drying runs. But sad India didnt have their best bowlers this series. In first 2 tests it was awesome to see how our bowlers kept him down. Smith has scored the slowest in this series I think.
Smith is very humble must say. The weird movements he does might be part of his OCD(everyone has some more or less) but in every interview, he would smile and answer the same damn question with a smile. All he wants is to bat.
He really is a tremendous class and what make him apart is, his ability to hold himself is unavailable' talent was always there and now he's making the most of it, now Brian Lara's record of 400 is in danger.
I genuinely remember when he just made it in to the Aussie team, and in the words of a commentator, (apologies for forGetting said commentators name, I’ve had a few) his place in team was literally saved by the fact that he was the dressing room clown who lifted morale.

With all the movements and the unconventional bat positions he still have so much time to play the shots. Thats Talent, something you cant teach.
When he first debut.... I thought he was nothing...... Well well... He will end up with better numbers than ponting....
Ponting one day test best Smith test
Yes
I met his best friend's dad 4 years ago through work. He reckoned there was never any doubt he would become the world's best.
careful mate, ponting had a career average above 60 after he had played 100 test matches and his average dropped to 51 by his retirement, it depends how long smith plays when the inevitable drop in form due to age comes
He was just another young legspinner to fill in the space of retired shane warne....
Then..
Surely this wasn’t a five minute thing.
Lol i was sayin d samething
they screwed up the sound...maybe they had to cut it short.
It was a sloppy sound mix
Absolutely 🤗

Steve comes as a genuine guy and that was a nice gesture from Nassar at the end
Very very generous of Smith to give Nasir all the info about him even he is aware it can be used to deal with him in Ashes. But I suppose Smith’s self belief is superb that he’ll play amazingly well regardless.
You can just see how humble Steve is now comparing to the Steve before the ball tampering incident. What an absolute legend!
I like his feet movements, moving from outside the leg stump to the middle stump before the delivery
That's one player I'm interested to know more about. Wish we had an extended clip with Smith. A genius.
I don't see any unorthodox style. The way he hit that square drive in one clip looked so elegant
Great session. Smithy is bloody awesome to watch in test cricket. This bloke is a freak.

How a leg spinner can turned into the best batsman of test cricket 🏏
