Recently, Steve Smith challenged the Indian bowlers to bowl bouncers at him. The former Aussie skipper, who is known to not play the short ball well has welcomed the Indian bowlers to bowl bouncers at him. The talismanic run-scorer, who missed the last series owing to a ban will be desperate to make the most against the mighty Indians.
“If teams are trying to get me out like that it’s probably a big benefit for the team because it takes a lot out of people’s bodies if you continually bowl short. I’ve faced a lot of short bowling in my life and I haven’t had too many stresses with it. I suppose we’ll just wait and see,” said Smith.
Found My Hands: Steve Smith
