It's basically a forgone conclusion with Smith though; Hilfenhaus and Hauritz won't take a beating every time. Frankly the mere suggestion that Smith might even be in the same planet as Hilfenhaus or Bollinger as bowlers annoys me greatly.yeh but frankly all the bowlers except Johnson and Dougy took a pretty bad beating.
Yeh he was probably a tad unlucky not to get a few wickets, but at the same time if someone as mediocre as North was causing some trouble, I'm sure Smith could too. Plus you get his batting as an extra (not that Hilfenhaus isn't bat himself with the bat, though).I actually think Hilfenhaus bowled very well even if he didn't take any wickets. Dangerous bowler, his place in the side shouldn't be under threat IMO.
Bat pad. Good decision.North gone bat pad or LBW?
wat gifted Watto wicket got Clarke with a beauty Ponting was a combination of poor batting & good captaincy.Just came home,Did Sharma bowl that well??????
Yeh but he would mainly be useful for his batting, which clearly this Australian side needs boosted at the moment.It's basically a forgone conclusion with Smith though; Hilfenhaus and Hauritz won't take a beating every time.

May as well play a batsman imo.Yeh but he would mainly be useful for his batting, which clearly this Australian side needs boosted at the moment.
North gone now, and hopefully forever.
C'mon haha, his bowling ain't that bad. Anyway hopefully this will mark the end of North, and another batsman can take his place in addition to Smith playing a role in the side.May as well play a batsman imo.
I do like Smith though.
