‘I haven't spoken to him yet...': Steve Smith's dressing room outburst in India vs Australia 2nd Test comes to light

Hindustan Times  

Australia were 62 runs ahead with nine wickets in hand at Stumps on Day 2 of the second Test against India. Steve Smith while walking back to the pavillion Overnight batter Travis Head was dismissed by a Ravichandran Ashwin beauty in the first over of the third day's play but the real problem for Australia started when ace batter Steve Smith played an adventurous slog sweep to the India off-spinner and lost his wicket. After Australia's meek surrender in the second innings, batting coach Michael di Venuto revealed Smith's outburst in the dressing room. Di Venuto also described Smith's dismissal, which triggered the Australian collapse as "unusual". "If you're coming over here, and you're not a sweeper but you're trying to sweep, that's not going to work and I think we had some good examples of that."
