Having lots of lefty batsmen doesn't guarantee success of course as the Windies shows, but imagine what Hussey might achieve if he could open the batting with Gilchrist.:confused:
That said, Smith is regularly being taken out LBW by fast swingers from Lee.![]()
He takes a middle-and-leg guard and that is asking for trouble when facing someone with Lee's pace.
