The five-match Test series between India and Australia starts from November 22. Players of both the teams are leaving no stone unturned for this series. This is the reason why many Australian players are participating in the Sheffield Shield. The participating players also include the name of great batsman Steve Smith, who is playing for New South Wales. However, Smith's performance here was nothing special and he returned to the pavilion without opening an account against Victoria. Smith, who came to bat at number three, was clean bowled by fast bowler Scott Boland. Smith had no answer to his inswinging ball, where he found himself in front of the wicket and was out LBW.
Team India happy with Smith's form
Smith's body language shows that he is not able to read the ball properly. The Indian team will definitely be happy after his performance. In the match, Victoria's team got a lead of 136 runs on the basis of first innings. He scored 246 runs in the second innings and gave New South Wales a target of 383 runs. Smith scored only three runs in 29 balls in the first innings of the match.
Smith will not open in the Border-Gavaskar series
Smith, an important link in the Australian batting lineup, will not open in the five-match Border-Gavaskar series against India. He has decided to play at his preferred number four position in the series. The reason for doing this is his strong record on this number. This is the reason why the Kangaroo team is once again expecting a strong performance from him.
I really enjoyed- Smith
Regarding this, Smith said that one of the reasons for playing at number four was that he was not thrilled when his teammates Marnus Labuschagne and Usman Khawaja were introduced in place of David Warner. Sharing his initial experience, he said, 'It was great fun to do something new and get a chance to bat at the top of the order. I still think I can definitely do well there. He further said that after the departure of Cameron Green, there is definitely a vacancy.
