Smith has not been able to impress as an opener in the last four Test matches Steve Smith (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to start between India and Australia. It is worth noting that this time this series is going to start in Australia from 22 November. Along with this, fans are curious to know whether Steve Smith will be seen opening in this series or not? So, recently the team’s head coach Andrew McDonald has made a big statement regarding Smith’s opening batting position in the Australian Test team. McDonald says that he has not yet reached any final decision, but discussions are going on around it. Andrew McDonald gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently while talking to SEN about Steve Smith’s opening slot in the Australia Test team, Andrew McDonald said – This is the question on everyone’s lips. Although we are keeping an eye on it, we have not taken any concrete decision about it. There is a lot of speculation about it. But it is in discussions, I would be lying if I said there are no talks going on. There is a lot of conversation going on about what will happen in Test cricket in terms of the coming summer. McDonald further said- Obviously, if we make a change with Steve Smith, then someone else will have to go for opening batting. We have seen Cameron Green succeed at number four. There are some layers added to taking such decisions, but at the moment nothing is confirmed and decided. On the other hand, if we talk about Smith’s performance as an opener, in the last four matches he has played, he has scored a total of 171 runs at a modest average of 28.50, which is much less than his career average (56.97). He has been handling this role in the Australian team since David Warner retired.

Speaking to the Indian Express, Manav Suthar said, To get wickets, I have to first stop them. That’s what I did. After the first innings, I thought I had to slow down a bit to get some turn, which would help with the bounce. Every pitch is different, so how you use your skills matters.

I have seen Ashwin and Jaddu bhai playing- Suthar Manav Suthar further revealed that he learned a lot from the bowling styles of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. The young spin-allrounder has focused on getting help from the seam rather than the pitch. Watching Ashwin and Jaddu bhai play, I have seen how they change their seam position, trajectory and speed to adapt to different pitches.
