2nd Test: One Of Worst Ways To Get Out, Says Hayden On Smith's Dismissal On Leg Side Off Bumrah
Smith’s dismissal by Bumrah marks the third consecutive time the Indian pacer has got the better of him in the series. The Australian batting maestro has managed only 10 runs in four innings so far, averaging a mere 3.33 against Bumrah. His overall numbers this year have also been underwhelming: 232 runs in 13 innings at an average of 23.20, with just one half-century.
Hayden, speaking on Star Sports, dissected the dismissal, highlighting Smith’s vulnerability. “I mean, as you know, there's probably only one way to get out that's worse and that's run out off the bowler's hand and getting strangled down the leg side. But the fact is that Steve Smith is gonna have his stumps attacked time and time again until he proves otherwise that he's back in the touch that we've seen for the whole of his career. He was always so dynamic off his legs,” said Hayden on Star Sports.
