It Was An Amazing Knock And Nice To Be Up The Other End – Steve Smith

Steve Smith and David Warner put on a mammoth 239-run third-wicket partnership. Smith revealed a funny conversation he had with Warner during their partnership.

“The more he started to cramp the more shots he started to play and everything seemed to be coming out of the middle. It was an amazing knock and nice to be up the other end for a large chunk of it. I was doing my thing and he was doing his. It was just like, ‘Keep batting’. He was like, ‘I’m cramping.’ I was like, ‘Good. Just keep going’,” Smith was quoted saying by Hindustan Times.

He’s Fit And I Don’t See Any Reason Why He Can’t Continue Playing – Steve Smith

Steve Smith scored 85 runs off 161 balls, including nine fours and a six. Many experts have advised the opening batsman to retire from Test cricket. Warner ended his innings after the injury at 200*(254) including 16 fours and two sixes. However, he was dismissed on the very first ball he faced on the third day.

Commenting on Warner’s future in Test cricket, Smith stated, “I don’t see why not. He’s fit and I don’t see any reason why he can’t continue playing. He was certainly seeing the ball pretty well today, so fingers crossed he can keep playing well and he can play for as long as he likes.”
