    "editor1": "<p><strong>Leeds, Aug 28: <\/strong>Former Australia skipper Steve Smith has revealed that the first thought which came to his mind after he was hit on the neck by a ferocious bouncer from Jofra Archer was the death of his teammate Phillip Hughes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I had a few things running through my head, particularly where I got hit, just a bit of past came up -- if you know what I mean -- from a few years ago,&quot; news.com.au quoted Smith as saying as he referred to the day Hughes was struck and died in a Sheffield Shield match between New South Wales and South Australia in 2014.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;That was probably the first thing I thought about, then I was like &#39;I&#39;m OK here&#39; and I was all right,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On Day Four of the Lord&#39;s Test, Smith retired hurt on 80 after being hit on the neck by a 92.4 mph delivery from Archer. He returned to make 92, but was ruled out the next day due to delayed concussion which kept him out of the third Test at Headingley.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I was a little bit sad but I was all right mentally for the rest of that afternoon,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I felt pretty good, passed all my tests and was able to go and bat and then it wasn&#39;t until later that evening that it hit me.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;When the doc asked me what did it feel like I said it felt like I had six beers last night and felt a little bit under the weather -- without the six beers unfortunately. That was the sort of feeling I got, that groggy feeling and that stuck around for a couple of days,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Smith has however insisted that despite the incident, he is unlikely to wear a StemGuard during the fourth Test at Old Trafford as they make him feel claustrophobic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I&#39;ve tried them before and I tried them the other day when I was batting (in the nets) and I reckon my heart rate went up about 30 or 40 straight away,&quot; Smith said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I just feel claustrophobic. I compare it to being stuck in an MRI scan machine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;They&#39;re probably going to become mandatory, so I&#39;m going to have to get used to them. I&#39;m sure the more I wear them, the more I practice with them, my heart rate will come down and everything will be ok,&quot; he added.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
