Australia vs Pakistan: Yasir Shah has woken up awful sleeping beast Steve Smith, feel Australian teammates

Firstpost  

Smith, a brand ambassador and investor in an Australian mattress company, revealed he was “an awful sleeper” during the Ashes series in England, saying his mind would race with thoughts about where to hit the ball and how to play various bowlers. Melbourne: Master batsman Steve Smith is consulting experts on how to get a better night’s sleep before cricket matches, but will be fully alert when facing his Brisbane nemesis Yasir Shah in the second Test in Adelaide, according to Australia captain Tim Paine. “I don’t think it’s an easy fix for someone who’s wired the way Steve is.” Paine confirmed Australia would have an unchanged lineup at Adelaide Oval after thrashing Pakistan by an innings and five runs in Brisbane to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. The gesture prompted jokes from Smith’s team mates that Yasir had “woken up the beast”, and the batsman remarked that he looked forward to his next battle with the 33-year-old spinner.
