Especially since he has now toned down his idiosyncrasies, he is mesmerising. And so technically spot on.
He’s not #1 in the world without reason, technically as good as it gets
He is #1 but is still improving... particularly with technical aspects of his stroke play.
I think he has clearly matured. He is no longer a Smith prototype, he is his own man. He has retained his energy but a lot of the mannerisms and yelling has been reigned in.
So few players know how to build a Test innings in this day
In contrast to Marnus, Warner has NEVER learnt to build an innings. Hence his 200 or bust record.
