Cricket: Steve Smith has copped two balls in a row to his 'lower mid-section' against Victoria.
Smith suffers double blow to the 'plums' | 01:35The outcome of the five Test Border Gavaskar Trophy beginning in three weeks time in Perth could rest on the ability of champions Steve Smith and Virat Kohli to rediscover vintage form in their mid-30s.
But the Australian superstar, who will return to No.4 as his nation bids to win the trophy for the first time in a decade, and the Indian legend have struggled to produce anywhere near their best form in recent seasons against other nations. A former ICC Cricketer of the Year, the 35-year-old Smith has made 1,142 runs at an average of 39 with three centuries and four 50s in his last 34 innings.
“I watched Virat Kohli get out in the first innings the other day of the last Test where he missed a full toss from Mitchell Santner,” Craddock told“You could just see as he walked off he was thinking in his head ... ‘I just missed a full toss from Mitchell Santner. How am I going?’
