Can't remember when I saw a more accomplished test batsman. I'm not bothered what he was found guilty of in past the man is class. England look like mainly one day cricketers.
Similar to his namesake - Graham Smith, who toured here with South Africa and we just couldn't get him out! On day one, when Aus were 122 for 8, you could have got 35-1 on Australia winning!
Smith is a genius. You would never coach anyone to bat like he does. It is unique but it works for him - he plays the ball so late and has such a good eye which negates the apparent flaws in his technique of having so many moving parts and walking straight across his stumps. Sometimes you have to take your hat off to a great performance. His first innings knock was as good as anything you will ever see, and without it we win the Test.
Just abit of snooker news. Judd Trump is new world no. 1 after reaching Q/F in international tournament in China. He beat Tom Ford in that round plays Selby in the S/f.
