If I m The Opposition, I Want Him Opening The Batting: Paine On Smith

Around The Wicket: Former Australia captain Tim Paine has expressed his confidence in Steven Smith's ability to succeed as an opener despite a challenging start in the role. Smith's transition to the top of the batting order came in the wake of David Warner's retirement, a move aimed at reshaping Australia's lineup. However, Smith's performances during Australia's tour of New Zealand raised questions about his suitability as an opener. Paine acknowledged the concerns, noting that opposition teams might view Smith's new position as an opportunity to exploit his vulnerabilities early in the innings. Reflecting on Smith's struggles in New Zealand, where he managed only 51 runs at an average of 12.75, Paine emphasized the importance of Smith finding his rhythm in the new role. "If I'm the opposition, I want him opening the batting," Paine remarked, highlighting the strategic advantage for rival bowlers to face Smith with the new ball. "I look at it, that if I was playing against Australia, where would I prefer Steve Smith to bat? If I'm the opposition, I want him opening the batting," Paine told ESPN's Around The Wicket. "I want my best bowlers at their freshest with a brand new ball. I was in that Ashes in 2019 and went to England with him in another one and when he was at his best batting at four you just felt he couldn't get out.” Smith's elevation to the top to fill the vacancy created by David Warner's retirement enabled Cameron Green to return at No. 4 and he struck a brilliant unbeaten 174 in the first Test at Wellington. Despite the criticism, Paine remained optimistic about Smith's potential as an opener, citing his exceptional talent and adaptability. He stressed that Smith's ability to bat anywhere in the lineup is a testament to his skill and determination. "I would love to see him succeed as an opener, I think he can, there's no doubt about that, he's good enough to bat anywhere, but as an opposition player I want him at the top of the order because that gives me the best chance of getting him out,” he added. Australia's head coach, Andrew McDonald, echoed Paine's sentiments, labeling the scrutiny of Smith's early performances as "unfair." McDonald emphasized the need for patience and suggested that judging Smith after just four Tests in the new position was premature. Looking ahead to Australia's upcoming Test series against India, Paine dismissed suggestions of altering the batting order. He reaffirmed Smith's position at the top, asserting that Smith has earned the right to bat wherever he desires. With India likely to field a formidable pace attack led by Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Mohammed Siraj, Smith's ability to adapt to his new role will face a stern test. Nevertheless, Paine expressed confidence that Smith's determination and skill would enable him to overcome any challenges he may encounter. "I don't think anything changes," Paine said of Australia's batting order. "(Smith) is probably one of three or four players who has ever played for Australia who can probably do what he's doing at the moment. He's earned the right, in my opinion, to bat wherever he wants and if he wants, and is driven enough, to be Australia's Test opener I think he'll make it work and you'll see him come out next summer and dominate." Australia will next face India in the Border-Gavaskar trophy in November. Read the full article

The Aussie duo shared 14 wickets between them in Australia's emphatic 172-run victory in the opening Test in Wellington. Hazlewood picked a pair of New Zealand wickets in each innings while Lyon helped himself to 10 scalps in total as Australia dominated the contest at Basin Reserve. New Zealand's Matt Henry and Glenn Phillips each collected a five-wicket haul during that first Test against Australia, with the former moving up seven places to 18th on the list for Test bowlers and the latter improving 19 spots to 48th. In the batting chart, Australia batter Cameron Green has advanced towards the top 20 after his unbeaten century helped Australia defeat New Zealand by 172 runs in the first Test in Wellington. Green, who was named Player of the Match for his 174 not out in the first innings, has moved up 22 places to 23rd position. New Zealand batter Kane Williamson remained on top of the batting chart despite scores of just zero and nine in Wellington while Steve Smith, Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne slipped down the rankings. Smith has dropped a position to third (behind Joe Root) after scores of 31 and zero, the first time he has gone below 800 rating points since 2014. Labuschagne is out of the top 10 for the first time since December 2019 after managing just three runs in the match. With Head also slipping one slot, India batters Virat Kohli (one spot to be placed eight, Yashaswi Jaiswal (up two places to 10th) and Rohit Sharma (up two places to 11th) have all gained in the rankings.

Mark Adair has moved up 30 slots to 69th position among bowlers after finishing with an eight-wicket match haul that helped Ireland win their first Test in history.
