when fit he is a decent seamer and swinger but he's been struggling to keep full fitness for a year or so now

i have been following his game closely for a long time

he just can't keep fit and keep lean...perhaps one affecting the other...talent yes, fitness a problem

It's ironic that an unfit guy replaced a dude who decided to miss two fitness sessions because he is also unfit.

De thing though is both of them are contracted players!

Once Smith is fit, he can be a good quick bowler...
But I have to ask, are these guys drinking oil ????

De problem is, he's never fit lol

They always making exceptions for him so he will continue to enjoy the free ride.

I played with dem fellas during their early years and all of us stayed together at the LBI hostel... his teammates had to make sure they reach before him in the mornings for breakfast... if yuh late there goes your breakfast lol

I'm just thankful I was from a different county so our breakfast was separate lol

Dem fellas in GT most of the time... they eating good, mussy fireside grill everyday like his teammate Sinclair lol

I'm yet to come across someone who eats more than Smithy.

I do not know Smith situation.

However I will say that professional cricketers need to look after their health.

Kholi and Hope has serious fitness regimen.

So did Tino Best, who unfortunately had a large space between his ears.

If Smith, Sinclair fall into the same fate as Hooper re fitness,
then don't blame anyone for their career paths.
Lara made some unhealthy choices as well.
If he had taken his health/fitness serious,
He would have been way better than Tendulkar.

Health choices involves, training, sleep, diet including alcohol, limiting the partying life etc.
Most of the cricketers/sportsmen confess after career is finished about their poor life choices.
