"It did surprise us, I think, having Hilfenhaus in (the squad) in Melbourne and now picking Bollinger here probably shows a little bit of lack of clarity in terms of where they want to go, so that has surprised us," Smith said.
"I know it is his home ground but Hilfenhaus must be feeling a little bit hard done by I guess."
"It’s not often in world cricket these days that you arrive at a game and don’t know too much about the guys you’ll be facing with the new ball," he added.
"It takes you back to school and club cricket days where there was no television around.”
"But from our perspective, he’s (Bollinger) got a great record in domestic cricket, he’s obviously had a really good season and as I’ve said throughout the series, the respect factor’s there, you cannot afford to take anyone for granted in Test matches these days."
"We’ve got as much information on the guy as possible and we see that any guy that is going to try 150,000 percent in this game is going to be someone we’re going to have to respect," Smith said with a smile.
