Akash Deep has got some skill there for sure, says Steve Smith

Deccan Chronicle  

Brisbane: India pacer Akash Deep may not have entered the wickets column on the second day of third Test here but his ability to make the ball talk earned him high praise from Australian batting mainstay Steve Smith. Smith scored his 33rd Test hundred on Sunday and added 241 runs for the fourth wicket with with Travis Head to put Australia in a strong position, having seen off testing spells from the peerless Jasprit Bumrah as well as struggles against Akash Deep. Smith said the series opener in Perth, where the Australian batters were blown away by the Bumrah-led India bowlers to lose the game by 295 runs, was an "anomaly" as far as their batting was concerned. "Perhaps, when I've been doing my double trigger, getting my left leg a little bit too close and those balls that are skidding, I've probably struggled to get my bat down in time.
