Ind vs Aus: Smith Not Bothered By Opponents' Short Ball Plans, Says McDonald

By IANS News November 22, 2020 • 20:22 PM View: 6125

Australia's star batsman Steve Smith will not have too much fending off short deliveries that Indian fast bowlers can be expected to serve up during the upcoming tour Down Under, according to the hosts' assistant coach Andrew McDonald.

"I don't think it's a weakness, is it? They're taking a shot at that area to get him out early and then what you'll see after that initial potential plan they will go to a more standard try and negate the runs [plan]," McDonald said in a virtual interaction with the media.
