Steve Smith is a “caged lion ready to burst out,” stated former Australia all-rounder Tom Moody on Wednesday, backing the star batsman to come back good within the third Test in opposition to India after struggling within the first two video games.
Smith, thought-about probably the greatest batsmen in worldwide cricket, might handle simply 10 runs within the 4 innings he has performed to date within the collection and Moody stated he’s overdue for a giant rating.
“You have to look at his record, he is overdue, that doesn’t give you any guarantees but what it tells us that there is a caged lion ready to burst out and there is no one more determined than him to make sure that he is scoring runs in the new year,” Moody advised ESPNcricinfo.
“There is always that talk between Williamson, and Kohli and Smith, so he will be very keen to make sure he remains in that conversation regularly.”
India tackle Australia within the SCG Test starting on Thursday with the collection levelled 1-1.
