Steve Smith ‘trademark shot’ before his 100th TestOn July 6. Steve Smith will play his 100th Test for Australia.
Veteran Australian hitter Steve Smith is about to accomplish a huge milestone in his career. The 34-year-old is expected to play his 100th Test match for Australia when they face England in the third Ashes Test on Thursday, July 6 at Headingley.
Whether it’s leaving the ball animatedly or putting all of his weight into a straight drive. The 34-year-old’s unconventional batting style beats even the greatest bowlers. Ahead of his 100th Test for Australia, several of his colleagues participate in a Cricket Australia interview in which they discuss what they thought Smith’s characteristic shot.
Smith’s tennis racquet shot down the line, according to Australian bowler Josh Hazlewood, is one of his trademark shots. He also named the 34-year-old’s clip-off shot off the pads as one of the top shots in his repertoire.
Smith stepping across and flicking a delivery to the leg side, according to skipper Pat Cummins, was one of his outstanding strokes. Marnus Labuschagne, the ace batter, said Smith’s straight/on drive, in which he throws all of his weight on the bat, was one of his best smashes.
Usman Khawaja, the opener, stated that one of Steve Smith’s’stupid leaves’ and how he waits for a ball and hits it from the back foot is one of his trademark shots. Smith has demonstrated a wide range of shots over the years.
