The Ashes

Smith is an absolute freak. Right now he's seperated himself from the "chosen 4". Root, Kane and Kohli have some work to do to try & match his exploits.
Well, Root and Kohli do. Kane can't as we have no fucking tests scheduled.

.... against Sri Lanka at home... who haven't exactly set the world on fire recently...
Don't get me wrong, Kohli is some player, but Smith is in a league of his own at the moment.

One can always find excuses.. Smith is batting on a road..
Heck, M. Marsh is on 181*, goes to show how shit England are..Kohli has 6 test tons against Australia atm, with 5 of them in Australia.. I thought that was quite impressive..

Haha, OK, let's simplify things. Who has the better record overall?
-
@no-quarter Steve Smith has the better test record. Kohli has the better ODI record.
-
@KiwiMurph yup, I'd have Kohli as the best ODI player. But was talking about tests, hence my comment about Kane.

Best overall record is a bit different to "separating himself from the chosen 4"
Smith has 22 tons, Kohli has 20. Still close. Kohli has more double tons.
In terms of runs, Root is close to Smith.
Smith's average is out there though, but it is inflated by his not outs.If anyone is a freak, it's Kohli.
Batting Rankings..
Kohli #2 tests, #1 ODIs, #1 T20
Root #3 test, #6 ODIs, #7 T20
Kane #5 tests, #10 ODIs, #4 T20
Smith is #1 in tests, not in top 10 for ODIs or T20.If you wanna see separation, just compare their ODI stats.
If you could only choose one of the chosen 4, I know who I'd choose. He ain't lesbian.

You're talking about best over all formats. Again, I'm talking tests where Smith is ahead of the pack. I would never claim Smith is better in ODIs or T20s - different ball game altogether. Some of the best ever test players never dominated the short forms like say Bevan and vice versa.
Personally I'm not really interested in trying to rank "best over all formats". You can end up excluding the best players in each.

There were quite a few pundits in the UK suggesting that the England attack was too "samey" and that a punt on an out and out quick would be worth taking.
Roost.
Chickens.
Home to. -
I quite dislike the angry lesbian.
I hate on Marshall Mich after his fuckwittery after being given out for being out against NZ in the Hamlington ODI a couple of years ago.
I generally dispise Straya and want them to lose.
But hell this is entertaining. Go Straya! 2 hundy for Marsh and 3 hundy fir the Dyke!!
