He definitely looks like he's taking the piss when he's batting. Always looks to be playing a different game from everyone else.And he can only refuse to play off the front foot because he just seems to judge length that bit faster than everyone else and plays it late. If he wasn't so serious you'd reckon he was just taking the piss half the time.
Probably.I'm thinking it's just something he's done to counter the moving ball in England, and come first Test at home next summer he'll go back to playing full balls off the front foot
I don't think this is limited to Australians...Considering the number of Australians who orgasm simultaneously watching him bat I doubt a trio of good time girls would slow him down.

He actually looks like a first grader who's dropped down to the fifths to play a one-dayer for a weekend because his brother's wedding is on next Sat and the firsts play two-dayers.He definitely looks like he's taking the piss when he's batting.

Phill InnPlaying under a fake name because he wasn't meant to drop down more than two grades.
not as much bouncers with bradman era, so pretty much roughly on par with bradman . A close as f**k modern day version.Smith has now averaged 82.56 over his last 20 tests with 11 hundreds.
Now I almost know how people must have felt in the 1930's when watching Bradman, just missing the big double and triple centuries but still unbelieveable!
What's wrong with the way he speaks?Yeah this dude is just playing a different game to everyone else.
I cringe every time I hear him speak - but clearly it’s because he’s using 100% of his brainpower on batting.
The last Australian cricketer I enjoyed watching this much was Glenn McGrath.
For comparison:Steve Smith's sweet spot. When he scores 20 he averages 100.30
