Is Steve Smith the best test batsman in the world at the minute? Sadly I reckon so. Calm. Collected. Imperious. #ashes

To put Steve Smith’s batting in context ... he could now make 19 consecutive ducks and still average 50 #Ashes

I reckon we’re going to reach Steve Waugh-esque levels of frustration watching Steve Smith bat this winter. He’s going to be the difference between the two sides.

While Virat Kohli is easily the greatest in this era when it comes to limited overs cricket, Steve Smith falls under the same bracket when it comes to the traditional format. #Ashes

If I had a time machine, I'd use it to go back to 2010 and show people Steve Smith's career stats.

During this Steve Smith innings, that pool couple has got married, had a couple of kids, separated, reconciled and moved to Perth. #Ashes
