Wicketkeeper Jamie Smith was successful taking on the short ball, despite his unfamiliarity with the challenge as he made 95 at Edgbaston
Wicketkeeper’s 95 helps England take controlJamie Smith said he might be “a little bit gutted in a couple of days” after he was dismissed five runs from a first Test century after an entertaining, big-hitting innings in the third Test against West Indies. In just his third appearance Smith hit 12 fours and a big six that cleared Edgbaston’s Hollies Stand as he helped England
“When I went out it was about building partnerships and trying to knock off as much of the deficit as you can,” Smith said. “We saw that once you put a bit of pressure on we were able to get on top and scoring became a little easier and more free-flowing. That’s why we ended up with a healthy lead.” “For me it was just about backing myself. I wanted to go and be positive. I feel in a good place. I don’t feel out of my depth here, I feel ready to make an impact and show how good I am.”
