T20 World Cup 2021: Steve Smith Willing To 바카라Slide Down The Order바카라 To Play Anchor Role For Australia

In the ongoing T20 World Cup, most of the teams have huffed and puffed to get past the 150-run mark as the pitches are not conducive for stroke-making.

With the tricky and slow UAE wickets not supporting the power-hitters in the T20 World Cup 2021, Australia batsman Steve Smith is willing to change his batting order in the 바카라scrappy바카라 tournament to suit the requirement of his side. 

Almost all teams have struggled to go past the 150-run mark so far in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 as the pitches are not conducive for stroke-making. Smith, who usually bats at no.3, said he is aware of the different requirements and won't mind if he needs to drop down a bit if the situation demands.

바카라(My role is) a little bit different to what I바카라ve played previously. My job is just to fix it if our top order don바카라t come off and build a partnership with whoever I바카라m in with at that stage,바카라 Smith was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.

바카라If our top-order do go well, the likelihood is that I바카라ll slide down the order and let our big strong boys attack it. That바카라s essentially my role. I think I바카라ve done it reasonably well in the first couple of trial games and our first game against South Africa.

바카라I know what I need to do, the rest of the team knows my role, we're all very clear on the way we all want to play. That clarity is there, it's just about us all going and doing it.바카라 In a small chase of 119 against South Africa, Smith was Australia's top-scorer with his 35-run knock coming off 46 balls while batting at number four.

Smith said a different kind of T20 cricket is being played in this World Cup due to the wickets. 바카라Throughout the IPL, playing on these wickets, there was a lot of really scrappy cricket, not huge scores which made the games pretty interesting and quite close,바카라 said Smith, who played for Delhi Capitals in IPL.

바카라It바카라s slightly different to a lot of T20 cricket you would play. Quite often you would see flat wickets and big scores and guys going about their business. You have to change slight(ly the) ways you have to play and adapt to what's required on that surface.

바카라You need the ability to get off strike and manipulate the ball to certain areas more than just the power. (On) some of these wickets, even some of the powerful blokes struggle to hit sixes. You need some smarts about you in the middle and just having the ability to limit dot balls and get off strike.바카라
