Think about all the people cheerfully making predictions that are hopelessly wrong, and all the predatory gambling companies taking money off some of those people.
The best players in the best form still get a ball that misbehaves or play one shot that isn't right. With every ball you face you take on probability.. He has failed precisely zero times. Most of those came from more matches and more innings. Or their tallies came from a couple of really big scores, like Don Bradman's 758 runs against England in 1934, when he only made two centuries .
That's what he kept showing as the final Test in his golden summer continued through its second day. Again the burden was put on him to score with his teammates failing around him. He was suffering from the flu and kept upright on cold tablets.
Only highlights the widening gulf between Smith and the rest in the current Test side, every side has one or two stand out players in any series but Smith is the stand out in both sides with no other players coming close.
Great assessment of a legend in the making. I could watch Smith at bat all day. It’s always the case that the best of anything is a joy to watch. I’m personally very proud of him.

Steve Smith's historic Ashes feat not enough to rescue AustraliaSteve Smith achieved a feat that eluded even Don Bradman but it was not enough to rescue Australia after another substandard batting performance. Once a cheat.... he's great -- the rest of the batsmen are bloody awful and should never tour England again Apart from Smith and Labuschagne, our batting lineup is horrendous. The worst I’ve seen in a long long time. These guys have absolutely no idea how to score. Warner....are you serious? It’s a wonder how we retained these ashes.

What makes Cameron Smith rugby league's best player?He's light on brawn but a heavyweight in the subtler arts of league. What is it that Smith does on the field, and how has he sustained his edge? His game management, control and subtleties in play. Best ive ever seen. Ppl criticise him but anyone who understands league would have him on their team. The media. Craig Bellamy?
