He averages 66 against us

He’s averaged over 100 against us once before. His other averages were 31, 38 and 56

You’re really arguing for the sake of it here.
Since 2015 Smith has scored more runs in any Ashes tests over a 4 year period other than Bradman and he could surpass that today.

If you're not capable of recognising that as sustained excellence and put it down to 4 whole years of freakishness I guess that's up to you.

My point is that his career average, especially against England, is not remotely useful in gauging the player he has become in that time, because in the space of that 4 years he has vastly superseded his previous form.
 
UP there with Archer's wicket taking ball going for a 6. Was that in the World Cup?

Because Warne is trying to do as a commentator what he did brilliantly as a bowler - create drama where no drama exists
I think it was. There’s so many highlights this summer I’ve lost count
