From Big Bash, Smith is giving message to the national team
When you mention the name of Steven Smith, the word of a perfect batsman in white comes to mind. However, this Australian batsman has a very colorful performance in colorful clothes. He has been playing in three formats for a long time. But in recent times his place in the T20 team has been shaken. However, Smith is proving his batting power in this year’s Big Bash.
Smith plays for the Sydney Sixers in this T20 league based in Australia franchise. However, due to the busy schedule of the national team, he could not play many league matches. So far he has played Tests for the national team. From that format, he returned to the Big Bash in a different mood. But so what? On his day Smith has no excuses with the bat. He is scoring runs in limited overs cricket.
Smith has played only 5 matches in this tournament so far. And this right-handed batsman showed a surprising performance. Whereas Smith has scored a total of 346 runs at an average of 86.50. The experienced batsman also played two explosive century innings in the tournament. Has a half-century innings. He is just 116 runs behind Matthew Short, the top run-scorer in 14 matches so far.
Although yet to reach the top spot, Smith has the potential to occupy the top spot at the end of the tournament. Because at the speed he is progressing, he can surpass everyone in a few matches. In that case, the 34-year-old Smith is likely to regain his reign, leaving behind all the young and flamboyant batsmen of his country. This Aussi star is sending a message to the selectors of the national team by spreading light in his bat in the Big Bash.
Smith’s superhuman performance in the Big Bash has raised the prospect of his return to limited-overs cricket for the national team. This star batsman is not getting chances in the Australian T20 team. He lost his place to the current team David. Smith chose the Big Bash to answer all the omissions. In this tournament, he proved with the bat that the Smiths are not completely lost even if he sometimes loses his place on the field. This year’s Big Bash is therefore the stage for Smith’s return to limited overs cricket.
