Steve Smith is what Shane Warne would be if, after his harsh treatment in his debut test against India, he went, “Nah, maybe I should just bat a bit instead.”

Which is not to say that he’s a better batsman than Shane Warne.

Katich may well be a bit of a dick. He would not be alone in the Australian dressing room. But he has a point, there is no way he should have been dropped. So at the very least he is a dick with a point.

What is the point of Steve Smith?

I most cretainly do not feel guilty about pointing out your (rare) typos, KC, nor do I feel guilty about teasing Babua for his blam (or whatever such postings are supposed to be called) however legit his motives for making said posting might be.

It’s a good job I haven’t yet been harangued for things I’ve briefly considered doing and then not gone ahead with it. I’d be considered pretty despicable.

I’ve briefly considered stabbing someone in the eye with a fork, for example. Or walking in front of a car to get out of my exams. Or even leaving a comment on cricinfo once.

Are you so eager to see blood flow?

You already signed up, didn’t you KC?

Babua, This is King Cricket, not Whore Cricket.

How come none of you ever feel guilty when you point out our typos?
