Graeme Smith vs Kane Williamson

[BazBall21]

Two guys from the southern hemisphere that batted top 3.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Graeme Smith for me.

 

[howitzer]

Think Smith. Don't think there's much in it though.

 

[Molehill]

Williamson is a nice guy, Smith is a ****.

 

[kyear2]

Would go Smith on this one.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Both probably a bit underrated and would average a lot more if they batted 4/5

What do people think of the "I love openers, but I like Kane over G Smith" take of mine?

Doesn't it make me so quirky, appealing, and not like the other girls?

 

[Athlai]

Don't think Graeme is on the level of the Fab Four

Smith played in a really easy era. His away record wouldn’t look that good in this era.

Yeah I think people forget how much batting dominated in the 2000s due to roads and relatively weak bowling (outside Australia).

I don't even think this one is remotely close.

Williamson is a Sangakkara level player, the lower end ATG batsman, clipping at the heels of the Ponting/Tendulkars/S Smiths.

G Smith is a tier or two below that with the Jayawardenes, Sehwags, Clarkes and Cooks

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Graeme Smith is a Crowe/Jayawardene level batsman.

Williamson is a Kallis/Sangakkara level batsman.
