Phil Walker

On a certain level, he was the one who was the most faithful to the whole show, to the whole theory.

He carried it out to the letter.

And ultimately, he's the one who's had to fall.

But again, it was the right decision.

Yeah, so I think he did confirm that, McCullum, or broadly confirmed that on Friday afternoon.

I quite like it, actually.

There's been a few punters calling for it in England.

I think for Smith in particular, it's good.

So I interviewed Smith actually last month, and he's a wicked keeper.

He's a reluctant wicked keeper.

And I said to him, and he doesn't shout the odds.

He's a lovely lad, actually, quite self-effacing.

I think Australia, the experience hit him relatively hard, actually.

And he got himself into a few technical tangles and so on.

But I said to him about the keeping, and he said, I'm not a keeper.

He literally said, we're keeping as opened avenues for me and open doors for me, but

I'm a top-order batsman.

That's how he sees himself.

He bats three for Surrey at the moment.

He's backed four in the past for Surrey.
