Steve Smith said that the England National Cricket Team batters will find it difficult to play their aggressive brand of cricket in Australia due to the challenging conditions on offer.
Then, the action will move to Adelaide for the third Test at the Adelaide Oval, scheduled between December 17 and 21, and the fourth Test will be hosted by the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) from December 26 to 30. Meanwhile, the series finale will take place at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) from January 4 to 8, 2026.
Steve Smith, however, fired a warning to the Ben Stokes-led side, saying that the tricky wickets in Australia will pose difficulty for them. In an interaction with Sky Sports, he said:
“I think the wickets in the last three or four years have been really tricky. We’ve obviously got a very experienced bowling lineup with guys that have played for a long period of time and been extremely successful. So I’m looking forward to the summer.
From an Australian point of view, hopefully he doesn’t get 100 this summer - Steve Smith
Joe Root, the former England skipper, is the second-highest run-scorer in the history of Test cricket, only behind Sachin Tendulkar. He has scored a plethora of runs across different countries, but Australia has not been his happy hunting ground. In 14 Test matches Down Under, Joe Root has scored just 892 runs at an average of 35.68, without a century.
"I think not just in that series, the last probably two years he’s just been incredible. His ability to make big scores, go from 50 to 100, which was probably one thing that he got caught in that 50 to 100 spot for quite a while. Now he’s just making it count and going on and making huge scores. So, I think he hasn’t scored a 100 in Australia.
No fears here - Steve Smith
Steve Smith has not been in his best form of late, and when asked about the fear of any England bowler, he shut down the question. The Aussie great said:
