Steve Smith didn’t understand even after eating lemon and burning his face! At the Cape Town test in 2016, there was no fight in the cricket world for sandpaper or sticky paper from the Australians! Cameron Bancroft from Australia was caught on television camera rubbing with sticky paper to keep the cricket ball shiny. Team co-captain David Warner was banned from doing this with Bancroft. Smith also lost the captaincy with the penalty for pretending not to know.
Smith has forgotten that incident in less than three years. Otherwise, how did the Australian batsman do this today at the Sydney Cricket Ground? Rishabh Pant was at the window then. The Indian wicketkeeper-batsman was on fire at the time. Pant disappointed the Australian bowlers for a while, but also showed the team the dream of an impossible victory.
The Australians were desperate to get Pant back. Steve Smith didn’t even sit down. However, the former Australian captain has taken a slightly tortuous path. What Smith did was captured with a stump camera. Video footage shows Smith rubbing Pant’s batting shoes in front of stumps during a water break.
