Smith has played second team cricket for both Kent and Surrey. The latter would love to have him back, he did pretty well for Surrey in his short time with the club and excelled with the bat down the order.

Good to hear. This the start of some good youth breeding imo.

Well Steven Smith has scored his first FC hundred. I definitely think that if he keeps improving at the rate that he is, he will certainly play limited over cricket for Australia in a few years, maybe even tests.

His bowling will most likely go the way of White.

I've changed my tunes about Steve Smith. Earlier this year I wasn't overly convinced, but now I think he has potential in the shorter formats and there is nothing stopping him really of finding a way into an Australian top 6 in the future.
However his bowling is absolutely rubbish and needs drastic improvement.

Was more thinking a big slogger and a crappy leggie.

Jeez, that Tom Hussey lad really did disappear off the face of the planet didn't he?

Not sure if you all venture into the Australian Domestic Thread, but I was fortunate enough to see him at the GABBA today, he scored 102* off 102 balls.
He creamed the QLD attack to all parts, he's particularly hook and pull happy, but I guess that's what happens when QLD bowl so short to him! He's such a powerful player, even his defensive shots raced to cover and mid off. So yeah his batting is quite impressive, he did however get dropped twice, once at around 30 and the second time on 80.
His bowling was woeful, there is no other word for it. Either too short or full. He took 3 catches at second slip also, one of the catches was excellent, the other 2 were pretty routine.

Indeed. Only slight difference is the White at least had bowling form in his younger days, Smith's bowling is awful.

Jenner in hyping up young leg-spinner? Shock.
I could name 10 leg-spinners since Warne who have received similar praise from Jenner.
I don't believe he will ever rise above part-timer status with his leg-breaks, which is fair enough as his batting holds all the talent.

So Victorians actually genuinely do believe this stuff about Australia selectors being biased against Victorian players?

It's not so much the hype but more the time frame he mentioned. He stated Smith won't reach his full potential till about 2012 and that is assuming he keeps working on his bowling. NSW are giving hm lots of bowling chances. If he gets his line and length sorted, then we should get a clearer picture to whether he will be threatening enough.
