The Steven Smith Question

[S.Kennedy]

Nothing is better in cricket than the Colly 'nudge'.

 

[Burgey]

Collingwood’s career was summed up by him making 200 in an ultimately futile cause.

I do not agree. Captaining England to their only ICC success in 2010 has to rank up there, as does captaining Durham from the brink of relegation to championship glory in 2013.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah but literally no one outside Durham remembers those things.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Let him go about merrily.

The real challenge for him comes when he has to face Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Zadran.

Trust me, he will not average over 15 against borh bowlers, respectively.

I think quite a few people, not necessarily living in the north east of England, remember the 2010 World Twenty20!

Really? I'm flat out remembering a T20 I saw a couple of nights ago. Remembering a hit and giggle from 7 years ago is crazy talk.

Well at least a lot of Englishmen who do not support Durham. It is the only ICC thing England have ever won. There was even a dvd of the final released; I have it somewhere.

The 2010 T20 World Cup was fantastic!! A global trophy!!!

He played many a gutsy innings for England, vital part of the team at the peak of his powers. Not to mention an unbelievable fielder.

 

[Spikey]

main thing i remember about the 2010 T20 WC is that Steve Smith was the third highest wicket taker

 

[Woodster]

Everyone must remember KP and Kieswetter teeing off!

 

[Gob]

Ponting's backlift and step across was pretty accentuated

Back lift yeah but no pre trigger unless we are talking about early days when his back foot tends to go towards the leg which is never good. Even when he pulled he usually swiveled instead of the traditional back and across. Pretty obvious to see below

 

[Gnske]

Huh, could have sworn his front foot movement always happened earlier during the delivery stride.

 

[Zinzan]

"I think Root and KW are more boring therefore everyone has to"

Played sir.

Still T20.

No, it was summed up by what that scum sucker did to Grant Elliott.

The worst incident since the underarm ball.

I wouldn't go that far but I didn't like that. He could have withdrawn the appeal. In his defence he regretted it later and apologised.

 

[SteveNZ]

Not sure how this is even a thread. Seen him score plenty of hard runs at difficult times, and to average whatever he does as captain of Australia - and to have built his career from a rubbish leggie batting at 8 - is worthy of the highest praise. Ruining cricket? Please. As a batsman he epitomises what cricket is, able to score 100-ball or 300-ball tons.

 

[Austerlitz]

Only thing is he has faced just 1 ATG bowler in his whole career - steyn and 2 semi-atgs in anderson and ashwin.

Tendulkar and/or Lara faced a dozen ATG bowlers(waqar,wasim,mcgrath,gillespie,ambrose,walsh,steyn,pollock,donald,akhtar,johnson,anderson,warne,murali,kumble,bond before injury) and numerous semi-atgs(lee,saqlain,ntini,harbhajan,zaheer)
