When you use something and spend a LOT of time with it, you kind of start to recognize even the minute things that can set it apart. And knowing smudge he has probably spent DAYS with each bat. I'm a speedcuber and I probably have around 30 cubes. I can definitely recognize which one is which when I'm turning them even with my eyes closed because they all have slightly different turning and "feel".
Very freaky. My son loves him (except for the dodgy culture and leadership bits). Hopefully my South African son outgrows loving Aussie cricketers soon 😂
This man identifies bats of the same model i think with a blindfold and im here struggling to find any meaningful difference between two completely different bats.
@leeroyc4148 definitely....but it's hard to found a batter as good as he....In tests he almost scores 60+ runs in each innings....Every batter has a weak point but I Steve has none
@@debashismitra8032 exactly we could find a weak point to bowl for every one in the fab 4 but Smith is built different there is no such a weak point he exposed yet to his opposition
Just can’t fathom that he has turned out to be one of the great modern day batsman after starting out as a leg spinner batting at no.8, especially with a pretty unorthodox technique for a top order batsman. Can’t wait for his 100th test match; hopefully another commanding Aussie victory❤️❤️❤️🏏🏏🏏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
It's things like this that really put into perspective how good this man is at cricket. As an Englishman, it's hard to think of anyone (edit: anyone for England) who'd be able to say they can do the same with their bats as Smith so effortlessly did.
Funny thing is legendary samurai sword masters used to test their favourite katana using the same method - blindfolded, so that they are not biased to its colourful handles or aesthetic looks.
New Balance struck gold when they signed two legends of the game in Smith and Root.. Even I got to know there is shoe brand called NB after I saw stickers in these two guys bats and Finch's..
weird all around , highly skillful and knows well about his Armory. That's how it should be. passionate / professional and highly dedicated will produce the greats.
This is crazy good. Well done. Hopefully in the future he’ll be able to identify sandpaper in one of his fielder’s pockets before said fielder uses it.

But Warner got the toughest sanction, Bancroft only got called up once more and Smith gets to be captain again. Lehmann had to quit. Smith came out of it best and he was captain.
There must be a Kyber Crystal inside the handle of each of these bats. So each crystal makes a distinct sound that only he can hear. I means that’s how he can tell which ones which, ya?
I thought he was going to pick them after hitting a couple of balls. Getting 100% right from just waving them around a bit is freaky!
I was going to ask how he couldv'e hit the balls blindfolded but knowing Smith, he probably could anyway!
i think this is staged . if it is not , he is really an alien or something

He judged all the bats just by shadow batting. This shows he is very passionate to great game of cricket.
The definition of 'Built Different' in all the best ways
He is a weird cricketing genius and I love him for it
He went to Menai High School so that speaks volumes lol
Amazing career trajectory. Gets picked as a leg spinner to begin with, ends up being the best batter since Bradman
He is a great batsman, m a fan of him but Australian team had better batsman than him like Ricky Ponting

Smith is obsessed with batting and cricket.... He should get more success as his number 1 priority is Cricket.....
All the Best Smith, the legend ❤️🙏
The fact he knows his bats so well makes him the goat
This is passion for cricket
All time great🔥
I'm surprised to see how easily he guessed his bats numbers correctly and secondly he's not just buying bats & using it directly to games😊
If you play cricket you will know as a professional nobody just buys and plays
What a legend of the game ❤❤!
It’ll be so sad to see him retire 😢😢😢😢😢
Going bat shopping with Steve smith would be like wedding dress shopping
Greatest of all time , smith is really a legend . Love from Bangladesh ❤️
Amazing.. Incredible love and passion for the game.. That's why he is the best..
Greatest batsman since Bradman . This man is pure class
I thought he'd get like a couple of them wrong. This is insane. It's also nice to hear him talk about something he's so passionate about
Salute to the modern genius in batting,I heard something about Steve's retirement,as a fan i request Steve to play as long as possible
What a Man. Steve You are Greats in Test Cricket. am from chennai looking for world cup You in CWC 2023 at chennai auses 1st match.
This man identifies bats of the same model i think with a blindfold and im here struggling to find any meaningful difference between two completely different bats.
Absolutely legend....I dont think australia will produce another Steven Smith....

one of the best and grestest test player in history 💗

Steve Smith - the bat whisperer.
I can do this too... of course, it's easier when you've only got the one bat. Amazing that he can do this just by shadow batting for a moment or two.
Is there a greater cricketing genius that this man?!!! Smithy ❤
Dhoni (as evidenced by his captaincy, decisions, etc), but yeah Smith is a genius.
Funny thing is legendary samurai sword masters used to test their favourite katana using the same method - blindfolded, so that they are not biased to its colourful handles or aesthetic looks.
My favourite ❤🌹 Steve Smith 🌹❤️ Australia 🌏🦘 Lezand 🦁😊
Just Loved His Skillful Techniques
Favourite cricketer ❤ love from India will see you in wc2023 in Delhi stadium matches 😍
He knows his stuff 😮
fine line between genius and madness. Fascinating character
This man is made differently,the goat❤
A man who knows his tools. The way it should be.
New Balance struck gold when they signed two legends of the game in Smith and Root.. Even I got to know there is shoe brand called NB after I saw stickers in these two guys bats and Finch's..
This brings cricket nuffy to a whole new level
This video shows how much thought level he has has on each particular game
Hes so unorthodox man he has his own methods ❤
Goat Player Goat Captain he is so passionate about cricket hope he captains for the wc in India
Goat of test one of my favourite batsmen

Steve Smith 🏆🇦🇺🥇 keep it up 💯
Steve smith class player
Great stuff smudger
Are you FKing KIDDING ME? We already knew Smith was a freak but bruh!
Go big smudge 🙌❤ in your 100th game
What a freak. Love you Smithy! Should be captain again but Cummins is getting better at the job. New blood so you can focus on your batting! 💪🐐
Super cool but I wish he had to hold them all without knowing if he was correct then finding out at the end to make him possibly second guess himself.
What a humble man 😊😊!!!!
Smudge ❤
Sir Steve Smith is just built different ❤
A genius mind,hats off Smithy,how he is committed to the Game,can you believe this he feels the bat and recognise it🫡❤
I got sad whenever I think about Stive Smith retirement
Great concept for the video which I really enjoyed.
Best of luck and congratulations for 100 th test spd smith🎉🎉🎉🎉
Amazing career and amazing talent this guys is
He is so strange but good
The bloke's cricketing autism acts like a superpower
I want to watch a Bat-chelor style show where Steve Smith hands out roses to the next bats to make it out to the middle.
I love content like this ❤
Not only can he identify them blindfolded he could probably go score a ton blindfolded
Steve smith amezing cricketer ❤❤❤❤
What an absolute wounder.
Every bat feel different some how I always miss some of my favorite bats when they get broken 😢
MY GOAT PLAYER.
Wow he is a cricketing genius 🤩
Thought hed have no chance of guessing them. This is crazy.
Smudge doing Smudge things 😂 You legend!
"Ok , I am convinced"
He is the greatest Modern test batsman
Absolute 🦡
Absolute legend!
This is crazy good. Well done.
Hopefully in the future he’ll be able to identify sandpaper in one of his fielder’s pockets before said fielder uses it.
Shame he was the scapegoat..he had no idea Warner was planning that.

Agree with you but Smith ain't captaining Australia anymore unless there is a injury to Cummins
I love nb bats because of you love you❤❤❤❤❤
I'm amazed he doesn't have names for them. "That ones Frank..........that's Doris. Doris is a bit heavier than Frank"
My Fav smithy
Love from india🎉🎉❤
Brilliant from a brilliant player
He's a man who knows his bats
Crazy lad😮
It’s the bats steve smith rejects that makes steve smith the best.
Good Job Steve Smith You Are A Batter
Meanwhile me (if blindfolded): cant identify my own accessories, which stay at same place at my home daily 😂
My favourite player ❤❤❤
amazing
Also, really interesting to see how square the bottom of the bat is, my memory is of a slightly rounded base
I play with NB too very well balanced Bats for long innings...
Steve smith is really smart
His laughter 😃
There must be a Kyber Crystal inside the handle of each of these bats. So each crystal makes a distinct sound that only he can hear. I means that’s how he can tell which ones which, ya?
Wow unbelievable 😮😮
Legend, special special player
Legend 🐐
Can tell every bat apart while blindfolded but can’t tell if he’s nicked behind or not 😂
I think favourite bat BBL🎉🎉🎉 25 six only 5 match unbelievable smithy
Steven Smith....The real GOAT
Thank God we didn't see this Steve Smith in the mighty Aussies under Ricky.
No world 11 can match against that Aussies.
he loves batting.
