Do you mean the next set around this sort of age, or the next set in general?Root > KW >> Steve Smith >>>> next set of batsmen, IMO.
I have Smith's nose marginally in front on the back of him performing better against Herath on their decks, than KW did against India. There's no hiding from the fact that Ashwin really did annihilate KW in that series. 4 out of 4.Nah. KW is comfortably higher than Steve Smith in the pecking order for me.

That age group obviously...Do you mean the next set around this sort of age, or the next set in general?
I just don't know how you can say that after this last Test match, where it was clear for all to see he wasn't as bad.Smith needs to show he can bat in conditions that aren't batting friendly, at the moment he's just as bad as the rest of the Aussie line up when the ball is doing something.

He was made to look absolutely amateur in the second innings, got hit several times, had no clue where the ball was going, played and missed often.I just don't know how you can say that after this last Test match, where it was clear for all to see he wasn't as bad.
Most batsmen would've struggled in those conditions though, I don't get how you're supposed to look good. Just so as long as you don't get out.He was made to look absolutely amateur in the second innings, got hit several times, had no clue where the ball was going, played and missed often.
There is struggling, and looking completely at sea.Most batsmen would've struggled in those conditions though, I don't get how you're supposed to look good. Just so as long as you don't get out.
Lol, name any batsman ever who hasn't had moments against top class pace bowling?He was made to look absolutely amateur in the second innings, got hit several times, had no clue where the ball was going, played and missed often.
I agree, Kohli will overtake everyone else at some point.de Kock might end up being the best of the lot...
