He has a real problem with game sense. The way he consistently gets out at terrible times, to terrible shots. He’s at a real crossroads - he’s gone from nailed on for years to fighting for his short-term future.

Never mind Smith, the absolutely dog shit bowling that followed is more of a concern.

It is weird though, as a general rule throughout this series our lack of control with the ball is something else.

It was highly similar in the summer series against India.
