When you use something and spend a LOT of time with it, you kind of start to recognize even the minute things that can set it apart. And knowing smudge he has probably spent DAYS with each bat. I'm a speedcuber and I probably have around 30 cubes. I can definitely recognize which one is which when I'm turning them even with my eyes closed because they all have slightly different turning and "feel".
Very freaky. My son loves him (except for the dodgy culture and leadership bits). Hopefully my South African son outgrows loving Aussie cricketers soon 😂
Just can’t fathom that he has turned out to be one of the great modern day batsman after starting out as a leg spinner batting at no.8, especially with a pretty unorthodox technique for a top order batsman. Can’t wait for his 100th test match; hopefully another commanding Aussie victory❤️❤️❤️🏏🏏🏏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
What? They said Australia wouldn't produce another Ponting, than Smith came along. There's always someone better. With the exception of Bradman. We may not see it but, 50, 100 years from now. Someone will come along.
@@leeroyc4148 definitely....but it's hard to found a batter as good as he....In tests he almost scores 60+ runs in each innings....Every batter has a weak point but I Steve has none
@@debashismitra8032 exactly we could find a weak point to bowl for every one in the fab 4 but Smith is built different there is no such a weak point he exposed yet to his opposition
This man identifies bats of the same model i think with a blindfold and im here struggling to find any meaningful difference between two completely different bats.
It's things like this that really put into perspective how good this man is at cricket. As an Englishman, it's hard to think of anyone (edit: anyone for England) who'd be able to say they can do the same with their bats as Smith so effortlessly did.
Funny thing is legendary samurai sword masters used to test their favourite katana using the same method - blindfolded, so that they are not biased to its colourful handles or aesthetic looks.
New Balance struck gold when they signed two legends of the game in Smith and Root.. Even I got to know there is shoe brand called NB after I saw stickers in these two guys bats and Finch's..
weird all around , highly skillful and knows well about his Armory. That's how it should be. passionate / professional and highly dedicated will produce the greats.
If I was in the field I be constantly questioning if he’s chosen the right numbered bat. If he starts thinking about that you could get in his head. Silly putting this out there really 🤷
There must be a Kyber Crystal inside the handle of each of these bats. So each crystal makes a distinct sound that only he can hear. I means that’s how he can tell which ones which, ya?
This is crazy good. Well done. Hopefully in the future he’ll be able to identify sandpaper in one of his fielder’s pockets before said fielder uses it.
@@spaceinvader992 so…..he was a bad captain? And I think he claimed he had an inkling something was afoot, but disassociated himself (rather than stop it). And then afterwards sent out his young player to lie to the media. I only buy the scapegoat argument to the extent that other players, especially bowlers, had to have known. But Warner got the toughest sanction, Bancroft only got called up once more and Smith gets to be captain again. Lehmann had to quit. Smith came out of it best and he was captain.
I see my fellow Indians fighting like little girls in the comment section here. there are a lot of great batsmen over the years and it is so hard to point out that one is better than the other. but whatever the ranking or rating is, smith is one of the best test batsman of the modern era. Like his discipline and love of cricket is on a different level. I also love how Marnus tries to become more and more like him . The other greatest test batsman of modern era would be Root for sure and maybe Kane. But I am sure anyone who understands test cricket would rate Smith over the other. And sorry fanboys, Kohli won't be in that list. I am sure he is the best ODI batsman of the modern era, and smith won't feature there. So learn to give the credit where it is due.
I thought he was going to pick them after hitting a couple of balls. Getting 100% right from just waving them around a bit is freaky!
I was going to ask how he couldv'e hit the balls blindfolded but knowing Smith, he probably could anyway!
i think this is staged . if it is not , he is really an alien or something

He judged all the bats just by shadow batting. This shows he is very passionate to great game of cricket.
The definition of 'Built Different' in all the best ways
He is a weird cricketing genius and I love him for it
He went to Menai High School so that speaks volumes lol
Amazing career trajectory. Gets picked as a leg spinner to begin with, ends up being the best batter since Bradman
He is a great batsman, m a fan of him but Australian team had better batsman than him like Ricky Ponting

What a legend of the game ❤❤!
It’ll be so sad to see him retire 😢😢😢😢😢
Smith is obsessed with batting and cricket.... He should get more success as his number 1 priority is Cricket.....
All the Best Smith, the legend ❤️🙏
The fact he knows his bats so well makes him the goat
This is passion for cricket
All time great🔥
I'm surprised to see how easily he guessed his bats numbers correctly and secondly he's not just buying bats & using it directly to games😊
If you play cricket you will know as a professional nobody just buys and plays
Greatest of all time , smith is really a legend . Love from Bangladesh ❤️
Amazing.. Incredible love and passion for the game.. That's why he is the best..
What a Man. Steve You are Greats in Test Cricket. am from chennai looking for world cup You in CWC 2023 at chennai auses 1st match.
I thought he'd get like a couple of them wrong. This is insane. It's also nice to hear him talk about something he's so passionate about
Greatest batsman since Bradman . This man is pure class
Salute to the modern genius in batting,I heard something about Steve's retirement,as a fan i request Steve to play as long as possible
one of the best and grestest test player in history 💗

Never 🔥
Man who knows for His Presence of mind
This man identifies bats of the same model i think with a blindfold and im here struggling to find any meaningful difference between two completely different bats.
I can do this too... of course, it's easier when you've only got the one bat. Amazing that he can do this just by shadow batting for a moment or two.

Steve Smith - the bat whisperer.

He knows his stuff 😮
fine line between genius and madness. Fascinating character
My favourite ❤🌹 Steve Smith 🌹❤️ Australia 🌏🦘 Lezand 🦁😊
A man who knows his tools. The way it should be.
Is there a greater cricketing genius that this man?!!! Smithy ❤
Dhoni (as evidenced by his captaincy, decisions, etc), but yeah Smith is a genius.
This brings cricket nuffy to a whole new level
Goat Player Goat Captain he is so passionate about cricket hope he captains for the wc in India
Just Loved His Skillful Techniques
weird all around , highly skillful and knows well about his Armory. That's how it should be. passionate / professional and highly dedicated will produce the greats.
What a freak. Love you Smithy! Should be captain again but Cummins is getting better at the job. New blood so you can focus on your batting! 💪🐐
Hes so unorthodox man he has his own methods ❤
Goat of test one of my favourite batsmen
This man is made differently,the goat❤
GOAT of test
Go big smudge 🙌❤ in your 100th game
This video shows how much thought level he has has on each particular game
I got sad whenever I think about Stive Smith retirement

Smudge ❤
He is so strange but good
Best of luck and congratulations for 100 th test spd smith🎉🎉🎉🎉
Sir Steve Smith is just built different ❤
Great stuff smudger
Every bat feel different some how I always miss some of my favorite bats when they get broken 😢
Amazing career and amazing talent this guys is
Not only can he identify them blindfolded he could probably go score a ton blindfolded
What an absolute wounder.
I'm amazed he doesn't have names for them. "That ones Frank..........that's Doris. Doris is a bit heavier than Frank"
Absolute 🦡
If I was in the field I be constantly questioning if he’s chosen the right numbered bat. If he starts thinking about that you could get in his head. Silly putting this out there really 🤷
Thought hed have no chance of guessing them. This is crazy.
What a humble man 😊😊!!!!
My Fav smithy
Love from india🎉🎉❤
I want to watch a Bat-chelor style show where Steve Smith hands out roses to the next bats to make it out to the middle.
MY GOAT PLAYER.
There must be a Kyber Crystal inside the handle of each of these bats. So each crystal makes a distinct sound that only he can hear. I means that’s how he can tell which ones which, ya?
This is crazy good. Well done.
Hopefully in the future he’ll be able to identify sandpaper in one of his fielder’s pockets before said fielder uses it.
Shame he was the scapegoat..he had no idea Warner was planning that.

Agree with you but Smith ain't captaining Australia anymore unless there is a injury to Cummins
Wow he is a cricketing genius 🤩
Steve smith amezing cricketer ❤❤❤❤
I play with NB too very well balanced Bats for long innings...
Smudge doing Smudge things 😂 You legend!
"Ok , I am convinced"
He is the greatest Modern test batsman
Thank God we didn't see this Steve Smith in the mighty Aussies under Ricky.
No world 11 can match against that Aussies.
Brilliant from a brilliant player
Good Job Steve Smith You Are A Batter
Steven Smith....The real GOAT
amazing
Also, really interesting to see how square the bottom of the bat is, my memory is of a slightly rounded base
He's a man who knows his bats
I love content like this ❤
Steve smith is really smart
It’s the bats steve smith rejects that makes steve smith the best.
His laughter 😃
Meanwhile me (if blindfolded): cant identify my own accessories, which stay at same place at my home daily 😂
Aussies...you guys making anymore Steve Smiths? We need a few more who are as passionate as him
Absolute legend!
he loves batting.
I think favourite bat BBL🎉🎉🎉 25 six only 5 match unbelievable smithy
Legend, special special player
I’m a huge Steve smith fan but he the type of guy to cry after sex.
Crazy lad😮

Well done Sir
I love nb bats because of you love you❤❤❤❤❤
Can tell every bat apart while blindfolded but can’t tell if he’s nicked behind or not 😂
This guy bleeds cricket!
