I take the opposite view. When first considering the question posed in the thread I thought first of his technique and hope that it inspires others (batsmen and bowlers) to be innovative and go their own way and not be hidebound by convention.

I think of the step to the offside and then when you think you've got him lbw he hits you through mid wicket. He has an amazing hand/eye coordination, and the fact he's relied so heavily on that is why he's perhaps starting to show signs of fading a little now.
Greats don't fade!

So Ricky Ponting isn't a great? Ffs. All batsmen "fade" as they get older, you still make scores but you just do so less consistently. Being a "great" doesn't suddenly turn you into a supernatural entity who doesn't feel the consequences of age.

Molehill had his lunch and took the dog for a walk. He returned to find a 3 word off the cuff comment has got everybody's knickers in a twist.
He smiled knowingly to himself....

Mate, probably best to delete this. You could've chosen a number of memes (I don't really care). But use of that word ain't clever these days.

Legacy of Smith is he was a cheat who got off lightly. FACT
That legacy is already taken by the 2005 English Murray Mints team who were all awarded MBE's for their efforts

Precisely. And he's not a great. So greats do fade.

Yeah a year ban was way less than every other ball tamperer has been punished
And he didn't even do it lol

Crazy that would factor in, considering not even a bowler so wouldn't impact his numbers. While actual bowlers who did, are glossed over.Yeah a year ban was way less than every other ball tamperer has been punished
