Monk sounded desperate to have Smith. Can he have Steve Smith please?

Monk sounded desperate to have Smith. Can he have Steve Smith please?

I was desperate for Smith, but not the Steve kind! Perhaps for my 12th man...

Think I need to take the best available post 1970s opener now, and I think it's probably Sehwag. Adds a bit of X factor as well.

Interesting comparison between Willis and Gillespie. Very similar statistically. Both in that allllllmost ATG category. Great avg and SRs.

One big difference is that there is no chance in hell Willis'd ever make a test double century!
