Steve Smith’s post-match reaction
I looked on Apple Weather and saw there might be a few days of rain, but I didn’t expect the game to be washed out. It’s not ideal but there’s not much that can be done about it.
[Who’s the most annoying player on a day like this?] Aw, Marnus, well and truly! He was walking round the room, trying to bug every single person!
You have to think on your feet and we were looking at a different team if it was a rain-reduced game.
The equation’s pretty simple now: if we beat Afghanistan we’re locked in the top four. They’re a dangerous side and we’ll have to be on our game.
We’ve been able to fit in a few rounds of golf to keep the boys up and about. It’s been really good so far – the rain today is not ideal but we’ll move onto the next one.
