Who cares if Smith can't bowl? I selected Steyn, Starc and Rabada as my fast bowlers. If they can't get 20 wickets the opposition must be pretty darn good.

Felix, Felix, Felix.. 1st rule of captaincy.. Give yourself as many bowling options as possible..
Smith or Stokes??! Hmm.... Certainly not one of your better days yesterday..   

[Felix Tito]

Steve Smith can't bowl and no where near as good a fielder. Now that is "case closed " my confused friend. Also can u look at his average when not playing on flat tracks...  Probably about 19... The same amount of 1st class wickets he has taken.

I love the banter with you Felix but sometimes you just need to admit your not a good judge of a world Xl
Simples...

Nothing wrong with Smith's fielding. Probably only Glenn Maxwell is better than him in Australia.

Stokes is a luxury player. Comes off one in a while. A guy that averages 58 is consistent. Not gonna average 58 without consistency scoring bucket loads of runs.

Now sod off you're testing my patience

Yeah I'm sure Stephen Waugh used to think I really need 5 bowlers...

You should be on stage.. A corpse could average 40+ on those Australian pitches... As for 2nd to only Glen Maxwell?  Big deal... I can think of 5 better fielders world wide better  than Maxwell..and Stokes is one of them.

And your point is?

When you know the argument has been lost but your pride won't let you admit that...

When 35 is greater than 58, I understand you guys don't understands maths...

Joe Root couldn't...

AB is the best fielder so it's irrelevant as to who's hiding in his shadow...

It's sorted then!

World Test XI 2016:
1. AB De Villiers.

Job done.

Its a current world eleven, not a past performances world eleven.

Stokes averages 60 in 2016, Smith 56. Both have had 13 innings with Stokes amassing nearly 100 more runs.

No one mentioned root? But you have to have a dig at the English. No matter what.


Welcome back Gerry/aus. Didn't take long.......... how sad life must be having to re-sign up to a forum over and over again pretending to be someone else.

He can't grasp the word current. Hence banging on about steyn constantly. 

"But he bowled one ball at 93mph this year , he must be picked"

You probably think he means Allan Border don't you Felix???
