Cricket-Australia's Smith consults 'Mr Cricket' in bid to arrest slump

Hindustan Times  

MELBOURNE, - Australia batsman Steve Smith is weighing a "less is more" approach to training in a bid to arrest his form slump following advice from former teammate Mike Hussey during the first test against India. Cricket-Australia's Smith consults 'Mr Cricket' in bid to arrest slump Once the team's batting maestro, 35-year-old Smith heads into the third test in Brisbane under major pressure after managing a total of 19 runs in three innings. With pundits writing off his chances of regaining career-best form, Smith approached fellow batting obsessive Hussey who produced arguably his best cricket when on the wrong side of 35. "It's well documented that him and Marnus in particular, they hit a lot of balls, they practise really hard and they do a great deal of preparation," Hussey told Cricket Australia's website.
