Like I said even if a batter has a bit of a weakness with the short ball how many teams/attacks start the innings bowling real short
How many times have you seen Starc and Hazelwood start an innings bowling majority short. Starc is always going to start seeing if he can get his ins winger to the right handers working regardless of who the batter is. Same with Hazelwood his always going to spend the first spell bowling that slightly back of a length and seeing if he can get some sidewards movement.
Maybe you don't open with a bloke who struggles against the short ball then? Bowlers at their quickest, ball the hardest, yeah?

So if there is a short ball weakness of Smith's you can bet your bottom dollar it will be tested early and often

One less petulant, unlikeable bloke in our team. Thats not a bad thing. Then we just need Marnus to struggle for this calendar year and we can finally like the team again

They became far more likeable last week in Sydney.
