How beautiful Test cricket is!
Before the Indian tour, the English must watch the partnership of Steve Smith and Shaun Marsh. I am sure, it would help them a lot. Finally, the Australian top order got their approach and technique right against the spinners. The SSC track still offered turn and bounce. But for a brief period, Smith and Marsh kept the Australian wag and wheel active by being patient enough.
Shaun Marsh’s ploy to defeat the Lankan spinners’ plan to use the rough by sweeping the ball worked very well and then, the way he left the ball, is a lesson for the young guys.
