God help me - the Test Cricket thread

Apart from Smith, Payne and maybe Wade, the rest would fill their shorts. Chuck in Thommo and Michael Holding for good measure.

Smith wouldnt know what hit him if he had the Windies quicks for company, no more deflecting through the leg side from outside off. The players who stood up vs the Windies all had short backlifts and were compact in defense like Laird, Border, S. Waugh etc....
Smith would get hit for sure IMO with his extravagant style, reckon Warner and Wade of the modern group would probably handle them best.....all be it briefly.
