He certainly annoys the opposition, but whether that really makes them play better is very debatable. From what I have seen in recent times, the opposite seems to be true. But, I don't mind Smith; at least he is playing for his country unlike another utterly detestable, arrogant #%*#?! South African who pretends that he is an Englishman - Kevin Pietersen. Pity that it wasn't Brett Lee instead of McGrath who bowled that ball.
