Men’s ODI WC: Was Bit Shocked, But Will Do What I Need To For The Team, Says Smith On Batting Down The Order
Arun Jaitley Stadium: Australia’s premier batter Steve Smith admitted that he was a bit shocked when it was said to him that he would need to bat down the order to accommodating a possible return of left-handed opener Travis Head in the side's next World Cup match against New Zealand at Dharamshala on Saturday.
At the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday, Smith scored 71 runs from 68 balls as a number three batter in Australia’s total of 399-8 against the Netherlands in a huge 309-run victory. But Smith may have to move down a spot to number four in Australia's batting order if Head comes back to open the batting alongside David Warner and Mitchell Marsh moving to number three position.
"It's a different sort of mindset I think, when you come in at three to four. So yeah, I got told if Trav was playing that I was going to be batting four. I'll do whatever the team wants. I've got a pretty good record at three, so I was a bit shocked in a way, but I'll do what I need to for the team," Smith was quoted as saying bycricket.com.au.
