    'It’s Going To Be Very Difficult For Australia To Change Now', Mark Taylor Backs Struggling Opener Smith

    Steve Smith: Former Australia captain Mark Taylor has advised the team to continue with the vice-captain Steve Smith as the Test opener despite having a tough outing in the recently concluded series against New Zealand.

    Australia won the two-match Test series 2-0 after a match-winning inning played by wicket-keeper batter Alex Carey but Smith's struggle with his new opening position continued as he scored 31, 0, 11 and 9 across four innings.

    Smith was handed a new position to bat after David Warner’s retirement from Test cricket after a home series win against Pakistan. Across four matches since opening for Australia in the Test, Smith has hardly been effective with the bat. With the highest score of 91 against West Indies in the second Test, Smith has scored 171 runs.
