More than any incredible shots he’s played in his entire career, what makes demonstrates the greatness of Smith the batsman is the two plays below. Despite his extravagant shuffle across his stumps, Smith has a better idea of the position of his off stump than any player I know.
This allows him to be extraordinarily clear in his shot selection and also what balls to play shots to. The second demonstrates just how quick his reflexes are, he’s able to make such a quick adjustment to a steeply rising delivery and loosens his bottom hand at the
drop of a hat. The game awareness displayed in both reviews is exceptional and reveals so much about the level of expertise he has.
* no makes, also these are from the YouTube videos, I swear this doesn’t fuck with anyone’s copyrights
