Got to say, I find Smith anything but boring. He’s a great batsman and one of the main reasons I’m watching the Test series.
Fascinating to watch England’s bowlers trying to topple him and seeing his brilliant resistance. Not checked the stats but he usually comes in when the Aussies are in a bit of poo.
When you consider the recent batting greats , Lara,Kohli,Tendulkar,Stokes,KP,ABDV,etc.etc, he would be the last one to get me out of the bar - his style is boring, his face is boring,his idiosyncratic ways are boring ...he's boring , full stop. He only has essentially 2 shots...nudge to leg (x10) and flay through the off side.
He's like the best bat at school, just feck off and let someone else have a go.
My observation so far in this series, is that we have too many sessions where England have lost the plot, dropped catches, extreme bad batting,extreme bad bowling,body language - all signs of a poor captain unable to motivate his troops.

For anyone to say that Smith is the main reason they are watching the Test series, then, wow, what an exciting life you must lead.
Of course, 200 nudges to leg for one are way better than 8 sixes by Ben Stokes to win a match.
That table shown by Sky is a shocking demonstration of why we don't win more Test matches - only Bangladesh has a higher percentage of drop catches since January 2018.
They've also said that Stuart Broad has had over a hundred catches dropped off his bowling in his career.

Listen mate, just ‘cos someone disagrees with you, no need to insult them.
The great batsman have two qualities about them - an abundance of time to play any shot and an ability to make it look so simple too. Whether we like it or not Smith has both.

Just say you you're not watching, so can't comment.
