Ed Smith - easily pleased ?

As you'll now if you've read previous witterings I'm a fan of Ed Smith both as a cricketer and as a writer ( although I felt 'What sport teaches us...' slightly disappointing after 'Playing Hardball' ) but a comment in yesterday Telegraph strikes me as slightly odd in a Simon Hughes sort of way.
'I once turned on the television,' he wrote 'watched Brian Lara execute a heavenly late cut, and immediately switched off again, perfectly satisfied.'
If that had been you, wouldn't you want to wait and see whether he did it again?
