Smith fancies Freddie

He said.

"I enjoy the battle against him. There is a lot of mutual respect and we share a nice rapport. It's very difficult to become best friends when you don't live in the same country and you play against each other, but if the chance is there I'm sure we'll get together."

I did notice he lingered rather too long when shaking his hand after their World Cup victory last year.

Anyway at least Fred has provided some sort of spark to a rather tepid looking pommy attack. His skill in bowling around the wicket to left-handers remains undiminished.

ok.
