Steve Smith hopes to convert start to a hundred in Lahore

The Hindu  

Australia vice-captain Steve Smith is disappointed to have not capitalised on two good starts against Pakistan and get his first away Test century in over two years. “Look, I’ve been pretty disappointed when I’ve got out, that’s for sure,” Smith said via video conference on Saturday as Australia prepared for the third and final test starting Monday. “I haven’t got out many times in my career and I think I’ve got to get the bigger scores, particularly on those wickets.” Smith looked set to score his first away Test century on a lifeless Pindi Cricket Stadium wicket before top-edging a wild sweep against leg-spinner Nauman Ali and getting caught at short fine leg. “It’s not too often you see a team last that long in the fourth inning, obviously we weren’t quite good enough to get all 10 in the end.” Smith dropped a crucial catch of opening batter Abdullah Shafique in the slips when the batsman was on 20 and it cost Australia dearly as the batsman went on to share a double century stand with Babar.
