I never thought I'd a batting stance uglier than Shivnarine Chanderpaul's until I saw Smith's. Good lord... BUT. His shot selection and how he eases into them is without a doubt, beautiful. Such natural flow in a style as unusual yet authentic as his. Watching has nearly reignited my interest in the sport.. almost.
He gave examples including his failures, he did not mention that he has the average record for an ashes series, they brought it up and he was very humble and did not add to it.
He's a CHEAT..... no respect, ZERO, A BIG FAT BLOB, and hopefully he makes 2 in the next ashes test, Australian cricket has sunk to an all time low, Smith Bancroft and that other creature should have been banned for life, absolute DISGRACE
and what Geoffrey said worked out in the end,he is getting out in that leg slip position, playing across,wow what an idea by the legend, when everyone was saying otherwise.
People who criticise Boycott on here here are just plain wrong he’s thinks outside the box and that’s what’s required to be a good captain ie Vaughan, McCullum etc he’s the best commentator on cricket there is by a country mile.
Never knew Geoff was this irritating. If Smith only scores run on flat pitches then why are the other batsman not scoring as many runs as he is. It's not like the pitch gets flat when he is batting and seams and swings when others are batting. Poor Hussey, didn't even get to speak. 😂😂
That's not what he was saying. He was saying that his technique is suited for fast, flat pitches that offer little movement for swing bowlers. When he played in England in 2015, his technique became very suspect because of the swing of the English pitches and how he couldn't move quickly enough. He even said he was fortunate that there are barely any pitches like English ones. He was complimenting him.
Hmm, kind of is though. Bradman essentially got all of his runs against England, granted they were really the only other top team of that era. In my opinion, it was only against England where he faced some kind of test of his ability. Against the 3 other test teams that he played, his average was well above one hundred. Im not taking it away from him, but with the example of smith, his technique is more exposed in swinging, English conditions. He likes to play spin and raw pace, but is suspect against english swing. Bradman wasn't. It's simple.
Geoff Boycott suggests, 'cutting your pace and bowling off-cutters' when dealing with Steven Smith. Reminds me of Manoj Phrabakher doing this in India in a ODI (World Cup?) much to the chagrin of the Indian crowds. (He never recovered and I think that was the end of his career)
I thought Steve Smith is Better batsman than Virat Kohli Currently In test .. But my mind change after seeing King Kohli become highest run scorer in the Current IND vs SA series on the worsr pitches ever for batting ....
Sain Rajput that is why bro we should never underestimate two persons in sport.. 1) ronaldo in football.. 2) king kohli in cricket.. kohli is the daddy of everybody..
Nah tougher to get Steve Smith out, Kohli gives his wicket away on most occasions. I sit and think would the windies pace bowlers of the 80's be able to truly trouble Steve Smith, i say not too much but Kohli would be cursing at the amount of short pitch bowling he would get.
Lol kholi scored 150 on a road subcontinent type centurion pitch which he himself said was very flat and amla said it was pretty flat and subcontinent type, newlands he failed, wanderer's second inning was good but in 1st innings he was dropped 3 times for making 51.
Geoff is like alex jones. U only like him when he rants about someone but when he analyses someone he is as terrible as they come. Mr cricket should have given more speaking time.
Mr Cricket need to c his Smith's dismissal at 199 vs WI. Yorker leg stump got him lbw easily bcz from outside off stump u cannot reach leg stick yorker let alone play it well.
Hussey talking garbage... top of off when it's flat doesn't work with Smith. Boycott has got this right... In 1989 Australia targeted Gooch at the top of England's order with a funky on-side field setting & Terry Alderman's accuracy. Gooch hardly made a run and didn't even want to play in the last test.
@Nshsls Snshshsj tendulkar is god for them, they are blind, they probaly don't know tendulkar did ball tampering, probaly start watching cricket recently...
Geoff shut up. Wow.... Let Mr Cricket speak. Geoff makes some good points but there is more to the mystery of Smith's batting. Stepping this way, or that way, is only a small part. Smith just knows how to put bat on ball and find the gaps.
Steve Smith has recently said that facing England’s bowlers is like celebrating Christmas. He will never learn will he, Smith. The snivelling cheat crying into the camera is back being an arrogant smart arse. However, a word to the wise, England will come back and we will through Jofra Archer wipe that sly smirk off his face. What goes around comes around.

What makes Steve Smith special? Fascinating must-watch chat with Boycott and Boycott
Haha!! 😂😂

He's having a big series in England....century each innings of the first test! Can't get much bigger than that!
A Series win is bigger than back to back centuries.
Well he got better in the last month
It is hilarious how Boycott seems to manage to bring any question back to talking about himself.
He gave examples including his failures, he did not mention that he has the average record for an ashes series, they brought it up and he was very humble and did not add to it.
No one doubts Boycotts technical knowledge and talent, it was his selfishness, ego and character that is so off putting to so many people.
Hes the greatest living Yorkshire man that's why!
@@graham2sexy955 Overrated but he was a proper batsman for the English.
wizzaard12 ha ha ha so true,🇬🇧🏴
Geoff let Mr. Cricket speak
Mark Richardson stop it
Hudson Jaxson I agree with Mark.
Mark Richardson Well said, Mark.
Who is here after the his back to back century ❤️❤️ ...
me lol
Everyone
Yep. Only hope the English bowlers are too. Need to try something.
He's a CHEAT..... no respect, ZERO, A BIG FAT BLOB, and hopefully he makes 2 in the next ashes test, Australian cricket has sunk to an all time low, Smith Bancroft and that other creature should have been banned for life, absolute DISGRACE
@@jonnorousseau3096 want some tissues pommy idiot???
First look at your cheat players fool..
Geoff Boycott was a fantastic opener and now a fantastic analyst
and what Geoffrey said worked out in the end,he is getting out in that leg slip position, playing across,wow what an idea by the legend, when everyone was saying otherwise.
People who criticise Boycott on here here are just plain wrong he’s thinks outside the box and that’s what’s required to be a good captain ie Vaughan, McCullum etc he’s the best commentator on cricket there is by a country mile.
Geoffrey Boycott a superb opener, I enjoy his analysis of the game because his opinions are honest.
I THINK TECHNIQUE IS SOMETHING BY WHICH A BATSMAN GETS RUN AND BOWLER GETS WICKET...STEVE SMITH IS BEST..
EXACTLY!!
They did try the straight stuff in Brisbane, it just slowed the rate. Let Mr Cricket speak.
My god, Boycott, let Hussey talk for once...
Never knew Geoff was this irritating. If Smith only scores run on flat pitches then why are the other batsman not scoring as many runs as he is. It's not like the pitch gets flat when he is batting and seams and swings when others are batting. Poor Hussey, didn't even get to speak. 😂😂

Same situation when people criticize Bradman for getting those runs in that era. If is was so easy (even though it wasn't), why didn't anyone else?
Hmm, kind of is though. Bradman essentially got all of his runs against England, granted they were really the only other top team of that era.

Boys stayed quite many times and let Gusset answer first a number of times.
MegaHariboboy he’s scored a double century at lords...

Sir GB talks sense end of chat
“What makes Steve Smith special?” is a much more interesting question than these answers
I just love his accent
In the thumbnail he looked like Leonardo DiCaprio of 'Wolf of wall street'
Geoff is like alex jones. U only like him when he rants about someone but when he analyses someone he is as terrible as they come. Mr cricket should have given more speaking time.
Mark Richardson are u Geoff? U have been replying to every comment that criticises boycott
Lol.
Tell me how is he a terrible analyst?
Mr Cricket need to c his Smith's dismissal at 199 vs WI. Yorker leg stump got him lbw easily bcz from outside off stump u cannot reach leg stick yorker let alone play it well.
he plays to enjoy his game
Boycott is intolerable these days.
Boycott was emotional here!
Eeee by gum, Geof looks great.
The bandanna.
took it on the chin.he won me over.give the bloke some slack.
@John Davies What rule did he break?
Hussey talking garbage... top of off when it's flat doesn't work with Smith. Boycott has got this right... In 1989 Australia targeted Gooch at the top of England's order with a funky on-side field setting & Terry Alderman's accuracy. Gooch hardly made a run and didn't even want to play in the last test.
Boycott is entertaining but hard to take seriously. Love his passion though
Clown
Was Boycott the ex English player that predicted England would easily win the ashes the year they got whitewashed 5-0?
It's Botham.
India should have to play really well otherwise we will hear some harsh words from boycott.
Just bowl wicket to wicket to Smith, whats wicket to wicket? see Waqar Younis bowling for that
The way he uses sandpaper!!!
@Nshsls Snshshsj tendulkar is god for them, they are blind, they probaly don't know tendulkar did ball tampering, probaly start watching cricket recently...
Nshsls Snshshsj adoi, it looks like ur a true blind; because I am not an Indian😛😛
Smith is right hand Chanderpaul
He has access to the finest quality sandpaper.
useless dog

Bodyline is illegal Geoffery, time for England to accept that and move on from it.
MLaak86 so is sandpaper
very straight middle and leg pitch it up
he would smash every single one through midwicket.
he plays back and across anything fired in middle and leg he has to come back to ,,,he can only hit to fielders if set properly frustrating him
It worked for NZ and India,in the previous series
Monologue with boring Boycott
Next ashes test 2023 to 2030 England
hi
Flat pitches
Yep, those damn English flatracks. You'd have to be Bradman to av 110 on them eh.
Steve Smith has got better because the bowlers have got worse. No Steyn or Morkel, no Murali and so forth.
Check Murali record in Australia.
Morkel works, Steyn won't.
Smith played a key role in 2014 test series win in Rsa
Geoff shut up. Wow.... Let Mr Cricket speak. Geoff makes some good points but there is more to the mystery of Smith's batting. Stepping this way, or that way, is only a small part. Smith just knows how to put bat on ball and find the gaps.
Sandpaper makes him special
Sandpaper…
england's bowling.
Every times he cheats in game, he cry’s on tv. That may be his specialty.
Geoff Boycott your arrogance and negativity is typical of the English cricket team and very annoying
Boycott= bellend
Geoff stop talking too much plz
Raju Kc , it’s a talk show, get it.
@@Pete-z6e 😂😂
Sand paper i think...
Cheating makes him special
Also he is proven, self accepted Cheat
Not just ones, many times cheater
Arrogant
he's a cheat
Sand paper makes him special.
his ability to hide sandpaper?

He is a total fraud, so nothing matters anymore. Should have been banned for life regardless.
Geoff is Mr Cricket
