Does Steve Smith have a place in our Twenty20 side?

[Doodlesweaver]

His bowling is never going to have much penetration. He seems to be the bowler who cashes in on batsmen's **** ups. He has that sort of appeal to batsmen to go after him but he's still good enough that if they do they are likely to get out. But other than that he's pretty impotent as a bowler.

Wow, only just realised how good Andrew McDonald's Twenty20 record is. Interesting.

Such an underrated player with excellent batting and bowling records in first class cricket. He somehow seems to have become a player that people like to hang shit on without him ever having done anything to deserve it.

I blame Bob Willis. He started it with his atttempts at 'humour' at the beginning of the 2009 Ashes.

Smith with 33* off 14 today, with some epic hitting.

If he keeps this up he'll be back in the Aussie side soon enough.

McDonald did look very awkward batting during his one test.

have tuned into the ipl a few times since last week and some of those indian young guys (and dan christian) bowl a lot of hand bags or as bill lawry would say, "fruit for the side board"

i think there are some better options than steve smith for that lower order occassional bowler, mcdonald and christian being the main ones that spring to mind

Huh?

Just looked it up, appears that he played 4 tests.

He looked completely at sea at the SCG against South Africa.
