Australia Vs Newzealand

  • 7 years ago
Australia's pacemen have responded well to their post-match spray from skipper Steve Smith, but the prospect of a worn surface at The Oval has put legspinner Adam Zampa in line for a recall for their ICC Champions Trophy clash against Bangladesh on Monday. The normally measured Smith publically chastised his quicks after a loose display against New Zealand at Edgbaston on Friday, labelling it "probably one of the worst bowling displays that we've put on for a very long time." Speaking in London on Sunday, Smith joked that a hostile net session on match eve indicated his message had struck a nerve with spearheads Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins.
