Veteran batsman Steve Smith, playing for New South Wales in the Sheffield Shield, could not even open his account in the second innings. Indian fans are becoming very happy after the fall of Steve Smith's wicket, but this is also bad news for Team India. Don't be surprised, actually the bowler who has dismissed Steve Smith can cause a lot of harm to Team India. Steve Smith was dismissed in the second innings by Scott Boland, whose seam position he could not read and as a result his wicket fell.

Steve Smith didn't even bat

Steve Smith's wicket fell on an amazing ball. Smith felt that Boland's ball would go outside, so he planned to leave it but the ball suddenly came in and Smith did not even move the bat. As a result the umpire gave him out LBW. The big thing here is that Steve Smith had failed in the first innings also. He could score only 3 runs. If Steve Smith's form is bad then Team India will get some relief in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Smith has scored 2042 runs against India at an average of more than 65, which includes 9 centuries.

A duck for Smith!

Mitchell Starc also came in color

Even though Steve Smith did not play in this match, Mitchell Starc is looking in amazing form. This left arm fast bowler took 6 wickets for just 81 runs against Victoria. His swing and bounce troubled the batsmen a lot. This news is not good for the batsmen of Team India. Also, wicketkeeper Alex Carey, while playing for South Australia, has also scored a brilliant century. Let us tell you that almost all the Test players of Australia are playing in Sheffield Shield. He is preparing only for the Border-Gavaskar series against Team India.
