Now only a few hours are left for the third test between India and Australia to start. Before this match to be played in Brisbane, Australian captain Pat Cummins has started playing mind games with Team India. He has tried to scare the Indian team by taking the name of Steve Smith, the weak link of his team. Regarding Smith, who is continuously flopping, Cummins has said that he is batting brilliantly and a big innings can be seen soon. Meanwhile, Smith's big secret has also come to light.

Smith looking sharper than ever

Steve Smith has not been in form for some time.

He is looking for runs. Even in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, he could score only 19 runs in 3 innings at an average of 6. In the last 10 Test innings, he has scored 179 runs at an average of 17.91. In the Adelaide Test, he became the victim of Jasprit Bumrah after scoring 2 runs. Despite this, Cummins has said that Smith is looking very sharp during net practice. Looks like he has a lot of time.

However, many times Australian players keep using such mental tricks against the opposing teams. But this may also be true. Because in the meantime it has also been revealed that Smith had sought advice from the legendary Australian batsman Michael Hussey on the issue of his batting.

Hussey gave this lesson to Smith

Steve Smith is worried about his form. In this connection, he had met Michael Hussey before the Adelaide Test. Hussey advised Smith to practice less during this period. Hussey told that Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith practice a lot in the nets. But as the age increases, it is beneficial for the players to practice less.

Michael Hussey believes that 35-year-old Smith currently needs to remain mentally and physically fresh more than training. According to Hussey, he gave the same advice to Smith.

Following his advice in the second test, Smith missed a few sessions but no benefit was seen. However, if Cummins' words are really true then it is a matter of concern for Team India. Smith is such a batsman who, if he is in form, does not get out and makes big scores.
