Ashes 2023: Determined Steve Smith not fazed by ‘funky’ England
Key Highlights :
Steve Smith is all set for the Ashes 2023 and is not fazed by the ‘funky’ things England may have in store for him. The 34-year-old Australian batter has a superb record against England and is ready for whatever hosts have to throw at him. Smith is determined to turn the tables back on England in the upcoming Ashes series and is confident that his strength of adapting on the go will help him counter whatever England comes up with.
The Australian team is expecting some different stuff from England, who have been creative with their strategies under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum. Smith is also aware that with the absence of Jack Leach, Moeen Ali will be playing for England, which changes the dynamic slightly. Smith is confident that he can draw from his experiences from past Ashes series and score some runs to help the team out.
The star batter is also full of praise for his team-mates Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head, who are both at the top of the Men’s Test Batting Rankings. Smith believes that the hard work of these two players has paid off and that their different approaches to the game can be beneficial for the team.
As the Ashes 2023 series approaches, Smith is determined to face whatever England throws at him and is confident that he can use his experience and adaptability to come out on top. He is also hopeful that he can repeat his performance from the 2019 Ashes series, where he scored centuries in both innings to kick off the series in impressive fashion.
