NEW DELHI: After notching his 32nd Test century for Australia earlier in the day, Steve Smith found himself in an unfamiliar role of bowling the final few deliveries to England captain Ben Stokes. It was an unusual sight as Smith, seemingly reluctant, skipped in to perform this task, displaying his aversion towards it.
"Hopefully I won't have to bowl too much," he told reporters, having stepped in just before the close of the second day of the second Ashes Test to relieve Australia's tired fast bowlers following an injury to their regular spinner Nathan Lyon.
