Steve Smith scores his slowest 1st-class ton in tune-up to Pak Tests

By Saurabh Sharma November 12, 2019 • 15:04 PM View: 1783

Sydney, Nov 12: Days after smashing an unbeaten 51-ball 80 in the T20Is against Pakistan, Australian batsman Steve Smith changed gears in masterful fashion to rack up his slowest-ever first-class century in the Marsh Sheffield Shield on Tuesday.

Former skipper Smith, rated as one of the best batters in the world, faced nearly six times as many deliveries as he did for that T20I knock, to notch up his 42nd first-class ton across the first two days of New South Wales' match against Western Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
