Ranjit Fernando Gems

Could be the abscence of captaincy pressure helping Smith's personality ...They showed him smiling and shaking his head in laughter at Tanvir making a mess of a boundary catch off Watson's bowling ...hard to think that would be his reaction if it was the Saffies playing

Shows how it and giggle they all deem it, maybe?

maybe ...but his (well TGM's actually) side is top of the table and playing very well ...maybe the fact that Tanvir is taking plenty of wickets (and Watson is Watson) was the key to Smith's laugh

Ok, guys listen up. This is Ramani Fernando, Ranjith's wife. I have been using funds from my private salon to bribe Ten Sports, ESPN and Star Sports to keep the old man employed and as far away from me aspossible. If you guys ruin this by making a big deal of the obvious, I will have to put up with bigmouth at home. You know even at home he just keeps blabbering the obvious agreeing to every Tom, Dick and Sarath. And if unsupervised for a moment he manages to ruin business by suggesting to ourfriends "One might expect a haircut if one visits my wife's salon" - even scared the hell out of old Malinga who bolted to Panadura and found a new hair-dresser!

So lets keep this under wraps and not make too much noise, ok?

Smith got the Captaincy when he was around 22 from memory. A bit to young to lead one of the leading Cricketing nations. The resulting insecurity and pressure could have well made him carry on in some of those past ways.

Actually a lot of guys have come across as quite likeable thru the IPL as opposed to how one sees them in international cricket. The assured pay packet and the super star treatment obviously would go a long way towards helping that.
