Steve Smith is "intrigued" how the Gabba wicket will play in the day-night Test against the West Indies after last year's strip proved to be a minefield for the batters.

The 2022-23 Test between Australia and South Africa finished inside two days and was rated as "below average" by International Cricket Council match referee Richie Richardson.
