I was quite surprised when he turned out for nsw - was he their first overseas player since Imran Khan?
While he may turn into a decent bowler, at this stage his numbers speak volumes.
In 4 completed Aus innings across the first 2 tests, Smith's 55 in the 2nd dig of the first test is both the highest Aus individual score, and only 1/2 century.
Garbage cricket.
The case against:
1) Almost 36yo
2) Dodgy knee
3) Over 2 years out of test cricket
4) Almost 12 months out of 1st class cricket
5) Rotten bloke
Still no word from SA asking him to come back!!!
I think it would be funny watching him face up for SA with that big England tattoo on his arm!!!
I'm probably being a bit unfair, although at times it does get annoying!
Not just limiting it to Channel 9, here is a few commentators (past & present) I like, and don't like....... sure to ruffle a few feathers?
GOOD:
David Lloyd
Bill Lawry
Ian Chappell
Tony Greig
Richie Benaud
Kerry O'Keefe...
Have to laugh when Samuels says he has never disrespected Warne, then says his face is plastic in the next sentence!
That said, listening to Warne commentate whenever Samuels is playing, it is easy to pick up how he doesn't like him. Sums up the channel 9 commentary team at the moment - very...
I remember reading recently about a league match in Essex that was abandoned due to a fight - not sure anyone died though - maybe a different incident?
From memory, it all started with this incident when Samuels tried to prevent D Hussey taking a second run in a BBL game years ago.......
Warne is definitely no angel, but Samuels should've got rubbed out for throwing his bat.
Huge result for NZ to beat Ind in their own backyard!
Loads of media ripping into Ind suggesting they're not the masters of spin everyone thought they were. Personally I'd be putting it down to a (very) bad day at the office, but time will tell.
Didn't see any coverage, though Gayle blasting...

The Australian team got a lot of media coverage with their poor behaviour last week, seems it's not just an Australia problem?
I can't seem to find any video of the incident?
