Simon Doull

And has he got talent?

Absolutely.

He's got plenty of it.

You saw glimpses of it with the bat, but you also saw that...

That inexperience of youth when he hooked out was at the third night just before stumps.

So you saw enough to think with time he'd be okay from a batting point of view.

And if he works hard on his keeping, there's something there.

There's enough there for him.

But yeah, as I say, if folks was fit,

I think he would have played being just a one-off.

They knew Robbins... Sorry, Smith was coming back for the third test after the birth of his child.

Yeah, and I don't think it is a bit glib.

I think, you know, the lack of foot movement and Joe Root's absolute class, world class.

We know that.

But the lack of foot movement when the keeper came up to him for Matt Henry and for Nathan Smith,

was he just wants to get out.

He wants to get out at the ball.

Harry Brook was exactly the same.

And it was showing up a little bit in Australia, wasn't it?

So, you know, I thought that was his... You know, Smithy's one of... Ian Smith's one of my best mates and probably my mentor and the guy I look up to more than anything and was a terrific wicketkeeper.
