"Don't nick the part-time off-spinner": Steve Smith reflects on unusual dismissal after key knock in WTC final
Jun 11, 2025
After anchoring Australia's fightback on Day 1 of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final against South Africa at Lord's, veteran batter Steve Smith reflected on both his dismissal and the challenges ahead in the match. Smith played a composed and vital innings of 66 off 112 deliveries, helping Australia recover from a precarious position of 67/4 to eventually post 212 in the first innings.
Speaking after the day's play, Smith humorously admitted to an error in judgment that cost him his wicket.
