Add to that, he started his career as a spin bowler.

For once i'm going to be a thread derailer. Australia have the flattest pitches in the world!!!!

So you think that Devin should discount Kohli's centuries there?

A test ton anywhere against any team is a major achievement.

What about a test victory?

 
Devin 2016-12-30 15:40:32 

Come to India, Steve Smith. Come to India. That average will be below 55 after he leaves.

India's pitches present far more difficulty to batsmen than any Aussie pitch.

In reply to Baje

Yes, take away Kohli's tons in Australia and Smith's as well. Smith will be left with 7, Kohli 10.

 
LBW375 2016-12-30 16:16:05 

Both have played 90 Innings.

Kholi has 460 runs less, Smith has been not out 7 more time.


Both are very young, we have many years of seeing excellent batting..............

In reply to Devin

yes that will be his biggest test to date

He can do it.

You think Root passed the test?

 
doosra 2016-12-30 16:59:47 

In reply to CricketLuva4

near 500 runs at 50 yes definitely passed

Smith is good enough to fight

staggering that conversion rate flat track or not

 
CricketLuva4 2016-12-30 17:02:37 

In reply to doosra

Root's conversion rate is poor at this stage. Wonder what it is because we already know he can score daddy hundreds.

 
doosra 2016-12-30 17:03:35 

In reply to CricketLuva4

he's got like 10 scores between 70 and 99 i think

maybe just a thing to sort out mentally

 
doosra 2016-12-30 17:04:44 

Actually Root is ONLY 26 today

wow...these guys are going to beat up some bowling over the next 5-8 years

8000 intl runs in 4 years is some batting

In reply to Ridge

what percentage of games draw in australia compare to elsewhere?

 
TheTrail 2016-12-30 17:24:21 

Which one is capable of breaking 400* and on which pitch?

Kraigg made that test list?

Where is the "big idiot" in that list?

 
GMA 2016-12-30 18:41:49 

In reply to doosra

That's a great record so far but i don't
hugely enjoy watching Smith bat

 
doosra 2016-12-30 20:13:08 

In reply to GMA

save for when he throws his long arms thru the offside he's not a pretty batsman

No time for this one format pony..

Australian pitches are indeed the flattest in the world. Indian test pitches are amongst the hardest.

People judge Indian pitches based on what they see in ODIs where Rohit Sharma hits 200s for fun and the IPL strips. Their test pitches in the last few years tell a much different story.
