Australia have been weakened by the loss of Glenn Maxwell and Mitch Marsh, but they have a laser-like focus on beating England in Ahmedabad on Saturday.
In the seemingly never-ending competition between Smith and Marnus Labuschagne, the former skipper had just thrown the stumps down and was jubilant.Under the beating Ahmedabad sun, with the temperature pushing into the mid-30s, Smith and Labuschagne were having yet another obsessive dual fielding a few metres apart at a faux backward point on the outfield of Narendra Modi Stadium, as white balls were slashed in their direction.
It’s as if the words of recently departed Australian football supercoach Ron Barassi are ringing in their ears almost half a century later: “Practice makes perfect is bullshit!” Barassi would snarl through clenched teeth. “Perfect practice makes perfect.”that had kept him out of the past two games. Coaching staff were cheering him on like it was the Stawell Gift. Later, he slowly unwound with his lively seam bowling as the rest of the Australian attack joined him.
Although he almost pinned a local official to the back of the net, offering a salient warning about focusing on phones in confined spaces. Not many of those net bowlers rolled their arm over, but they all dashed madly to surround players as they left the nets. Photos with players appear obligatory.
