Aces Steven Smith, an Australian hitter, is questionable for Australia’s next ODI World Cup match against Afghanistan. On Tuesday, November 7, the game will take place at Mumbai’s renowned Wankhede Stadium.
The 34-year-old said on the eve of the game that she was experiencing vertigo. Additionally, he said that while he wasn’t feeling well right now, he hoped to be well by tomorrow.
It’s simply been a little frustrating that I’ve been experiencing some vertigo symptoms for the past day or so. I’m hoping to make it through training today without any problems. However, it isn’t a pleasant place to be. I’ll go out and have a hit [in the nets] and hopefully be okay, and we’ll see how we go. I’ve had a few experiences [before], so I can tell you it’s not the funnest place to be in, Steve Smith was cited by ESPNcricinfo.
I believe I’ll be alright. Yes, I’m not feeling well right now, but I’ll give it a shot and see how it goes, so maybe everything works out,” he continued.
Following the pre-game press conference, Steven Smith took to the batting nets and initially showed no symptoms of discomfort. He took a quick break after accepting a couple throwdowns from the Australian support staff. He engaged in more throwdowns after returning, and he was even spotted displaying his trademark drives and flicks. He stepped down the course and unleashed some high drives as well.
Steven Smith considers his World Cup efforts to be “quite disappointing.”
Steve Smith went on to say that his results in the current ODI World Cup in India have been “a little bit disappointing at times.” He has amassed 205 runs from seven games at an average of 29.28 and a strike percentage of just 86.13, with one half-century among them.
Yes, at times it has been a little frustrating. I’ve been involved in a few relationships that have undoubtedly helped lay the groundwork, but I really would have preferred to have continued it for a little while longer. I have played on some difficult wickets. The first match, obviously, was against India. The second match, in South Africa, was when I felt like I was batting brilliantly but was given a dubious-looking leg before the wicket. The third match, I believe, was against Sri Lanka.
“The other day, I was batting fairly against England after batting well against the Netherlands.” Yes, there were a few points where I wanted to continue a little bit longer, but it didn’t work out. However, I think I’m still hitting the ball pretty well, so maybe some runs at the conclusion of the competition,” the Australian batter continued.
