Fair comment. Even made an 80 odd in the WC semi when everyone else ****ed up around him. Just steps it up when he's needed. Remarkable mental strength.Smith is the only one who can be consistently considered "clutch" among players that I have seen. I have said in other thread as well. The pressure of redeeming himself after the ban would have destroyed vast majority of Cricketers.
It's as clutch as humanly possible.
Yes, a clutch knock really needs to be chanceless. Warne bottled it on that catch, dropped the series.But Warne dropped KP on the last day of the Ashes 2005.
And Stokes was dropped three times at Headingly. Presumably that means everything he did wasn't a clutch performance.But Warne dropped KP on the last day of the Ashes 2005.
I can't remember how many times he got dropped, but he was plumb too with 2 to win. Clutch should equal chanceless with the bat. I wouldn't consider defending 10 in the last over in a world cup final with 3 long hops and 3 full tosses clutch even if it took 3 wickets for 6 runs in the over.And Stokes was dropped three times at Headingly. Presumably that means everything he did wasn't a clutch performance.
I agree that Smith has proven to be a great clutch player but pressure of redeeming himself is as relevant as pressure faced by Tendulkar because of being revered as a demi-God by cricket mad country i.e. not relevant at all.Smith is the only one who can be consistently considered "clutch" among players that I have seen.

and? A perfect analysis like that deserves more than one mention IMOThis is like the 50th time I've read a post of yours talking about how lucky that Stokes innings was, followed by a disclaimer that it was still a good innings lol
The word "opinion" implies that it is not an objective fact and that there are conflicting opinions, or room for conflicting opinionsJudging by what he does post, I really don't want to know a TJB opinion that's been censored tbh.
It is well established that Sachin Tendulkar faced #pressure like no other. Imagine scoring hundred after hundred but losing because your teammates are **** and your fast bowlers are vegetarians, only to come home and find people burning a life sized effigy of you outside your home where your wife and child reside.I agree that Smith has proven to be a great clutch player but pressure of redeeming himself is as relevant as pressure faced by Tendulkar because of being revered as a demi-God by cricket mad country i.e. not relevant at all.
