That's right. As no Steve Smith was born ago and no Steve Smith will born next. Steve Smith is one. I am very lucky for enjoying his batting and catches. Hope I can meet him. I am waiting for the moment from Bangladesh. I am in class 9 in 2020. So my waiting period is very long.

[IPDKD]

No comparison of Smith with anyone he is one of its kind

[PlatinumJimmy_Jr]

He hasn't even scratched the surface of his potential yet..

[donna]

Love Steve Waugh - having him involved was a stroke of genius by Langer.

[ashpakpathan]

He is legend in World cricket, Very passionate and proactive season campaigner.

[sudeshnanandy]

Steve Smith is Sir Don Bradman on modern Day

[beyondeyes]

Its good Steve Waugh as coach...he can make them mental strength very strong...

[akashguharoy]

Steve Smith temperament is far better than kohli in knockout matches and pressure situations

[avneeshyadav]

When India lost....they go west indies srilanka.. Bangladesh..for making centuries..no more Indian cricket team fan..lot of attitude there

[DrDothraki]

I'm not from Australia but is there no other player to replace Tim Paine? Where Carey? Why not use their best WC player more and give him a go at such an high profile series like the ashes!

[specialistsprofessionalsin]

you can bet on your life on Steve Waugh what a player what a captain
smith is similar dna amazing Aussies they have great phenomenal dna's

[atulkumarsingh]

Kohli is the Bradman of all formats of cricket 61 odi AVG 55 test average and 50 t20 average discussion over

[-second-HACKS]

Bradman? I just can't see it. [setting aside a 50% deficit in averages] He's in a purple patch for sure. But how many times have we heard the Bradman comparisons only to wind up being very disappointed. I suspect the world's bowlers will find a way through those big holes in his technique. Sir Don had an amazing eye, but he also had a solid technique that sustained him. Good luck to him, but I'm not hopping on the media bandwagon.

Lara Lara Lara.... Brain Charles Lara....

[ameenqureshi]

Wait till Virat scores back to back hundreds these people will say the same about him lol.

[raviprajeethi]

Smith hand eye coordination will stay another two year after that he will lose his quick reflex whereas virat as sound game of technique which will make him to play best cricket for another 6 to 7 years

[oliverdesvaux]

This guy got lucky only getting the length of ban he did. Cynical attempt to let him back « just in time » for the Ashes- kudos Aussie selectors. Great player though, no doubt

[ianbetts]

Playing the ball with one's head is not a very good plan.
