"Leg-Spinner, Skilled At No. 8 Or 9": Ex-Australia Captain Admits Judgment Error About Steve Smith

Former Australian Test captain Tim Paine has shared his thoughts on Steve Smith's debut and rapid ascent to becoming one of the nation's greatest cricketers, ahead of Smith's milestone of 10,000 runs. Paine also believes Smith still has much more to contribute to the sport. Paine made his Australian debut alongside Smith in 2010 at Lord's against Pakistan. Smith, initially chosen as a bowling all-rounder, scored 1 and 12 in his debut Test, batting at number 8. Paine said everyone expected him to be just a leg spinner with the ability to bat competently at number 8 or 9, but no one thought he would define a generation of cricket.

"Hurt A Little Bit But...": Steve Smith On Missing Out On 10,000 Test Runs At Sydney

Australian batter Steve Smith opened up on missing 10,000 Test runs milestone by a single run following his dismissal during the fifth and final Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against India, saying that though it hurt him a little, getting the desired result in the match and series was important. Smith had a solid Border-Gavaskar Trophy with the bat despite two disappointing games to start things off. Smith scored two centuries reminding fans and selectors that he is still every bit an elite Test batter, but missed out on an important milestone of 10,000 Test runs after being dismissed for four by Prasidh Krishna in his final inning of the series at home ground of Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).

"Don't Think He Can Survive As Test Opening Batsman": Ricky Ponting's Shocking Take On Sam Konstas

Former Australia captain and the ICC Hall of Famer, Ricky Ponting doesn't think the young prodigy can survive as an opening batter in the Test format if he continues to bat like he did at MCG. The world wasn't ready to witness Konstas going all guns blazing on his debut when he stepped in front of a sold-out crowd in the Boxing Day Test. With a ramp shot for a towering six over the head of Rishabh Pant, Konstas tonked the first maximum off the world's current best pacer, Jasprit Bumrah.

"Trying So Hard...": On Virat Kohli's Struggles, Australia Great's 'Perfect' Verdict

ICC Hall of Famer Ricky Ponting shared his thoughts on where Virat Kohli is at in his Test career following a further downturn in his form in India's Border-Gavaskar Trophy loss to Australia. Once the linchpin of India's batting, Kohli suffered a tough time Down Under ending with just 190 runs at an average under 24, despite scoring an unbeaten century in the first Test in Perth. Looking for potential solutions for the 36-year-old, cricketing great Ricky Ponting agreed he had much to give, despite struggles against spin at home and technical issues outside off-stump in Australia. Speaking to host Sanjana Ganesan on The ICC Review, Ponting compared Kohli's struggles to his own towards the end of his career, where the former Australian captain averaged 39.48 in his last five years as a Test batter, down from a career average of 51.85.
