Steve Smith cops a lot of hate both on and off the internet, mostly because of his ugly, ineffective bowling and his somewhat unorthadox batting technique, but surely it cannot be denied he has something to offer at the game's shortest format. As a specialist batsman.
Admittedly his stats aren't great, but it seems in the BBL and this current IPL tournament he has been performing well with the bat and in the field. As I type this he is swinging Pune away closer to an upset victory.
So the question I pose is, would he be a good candidate for the World Twenty20 this September?
And what about James Faulkner?
EDIT: Just hit a four and a six to clinch a last over victory for Pune. 44* off 22 balls.
