“I don't like watching others batting and scoring runs I could be scori...” — Steve Smith Quote

“I don't like watching others batting and scoring runs I could be scoring. It is nice to see guys being successful but at the same time I want to be the one out there doing it.”

“Particularly when I'm batting, I don't really hear anything that's going on. I block it all out. Maybe a little bit when I'm fielding but then again, it's just words. It doesn't affect me. If people want to say things then go for it.”

“First and foremost I'm a batsman in the side and that's my job, to score runs.”

“I began as a bowler and batting at No. 8 or 9 at Under-14, U-16 and U-19 levels, so to change myself was really difficult.”

“The batting coach does his job. He tells them the basic faults and helps them improve their technique. But if the batsman is in form then he has to carry that form.”

“My kids would watch from the window and wave to me during batting practice.”
