Smith retired hurt suffering concussion, but resumed his innings 40 minutes later, eventually getting out lbw. He is nowstarting at Headingley on Thursday. The former captain needs to train in Leeds and then face the team’s back-up fast bowlers in the nets on Wednesday as well as pass concussion tests.
"It’s distasteful and we have to remember that the Aussie players who got themselves into trouble have been punished and done the time. "I think it has been disappointing to hear the boos when he was hit by Jofra and certainly when he came back out to bat," Gillespie said. On Monday, Mr Morrison defended the former Australian skipper, saying he had handled the past year with a "real humility" and answered his critics with his performance, which included consecutive tons in the first Test.
latikambourke Oh distasteful. Tell people they can't do what they want and they'll give it to you like never before. They'll boo Smith now not because he's a champion or a cheat but because people are telling them that they can't. They got every right.
latikambourke How do you reckon the Balmy Army is going to take that suggestion? Good time to remember the brilliant quote from former Aussie captain ‘Clarkie’: “Get ready for a broken f-cking arm”. Aren’t we taking ourselves WAY to seriously?
latikambourke Why, they’re cheats..¡
latikambourke Distasteful maybe, but nowhere near as distasteful as the cheating that prompted the booing.
latikambourke Who fkn cares!
latikambourke I love Smitty Though I believe the poms have the right to boo him
latikambourke I wish someone in Australian Govt had said that about Adam Goodes
latikambourke The people have spoken.
latikambourke We still boo Stuart broad over here don’t we? He’s no less of a cheat.
latikambourke And what was with the giggling after Smith was hit in the neck ?
latikambourke Sad when adults need to be told when enough’s enough
latikambourke Only booing at black people is racist !
latikambourke Is booing a white guy racist? Of course not you don’t get that privilege!
latikambourke Poms!!!
latikambourke No....

What does Steve Smith need to do to play in Leeds?All eyes are on Steve Smith's recovery from concussion ahead of the third Ashes Test. Before he can torment England again, he will need to pass a battery of medical tests. He needs to.... follow his doctor's medical advice. He needs to do what concision experts tell him to do.
