England seeking ways to keep Smith 'quiet' as Stokes makes return

England's bowlers are making it no secret they are working on ways to keep Australian vice-captain Steve Smith "quiet" following his heroics in the 2019 men's Ashes series.Ben Stokes returned for England in an intra-squad match, taking 2-31 from 10 oversThe tourists will also be buoyed by Ben Stokes's performance with the ball in an intra-squad match in Brisbane on Thursday, with the all-rounder taking two wickets in his first playing appearance since July.

Against England in 2019, Smith scored a staggering 774 runs from just seven innings at an average of 110.57, with three centuries and as many half-centuries. England fast-bowling all-rounder Chris Woakes dismissed Smith a team-high three times during the 2019 series, although this was after the Australian had scored 142, 92 and 80 in the respective innings.Woakes — who averages 28.73 with the ball and 27.78 with the bat from 39 Tests — is in a selection battle to feature in a bowling attack likely to be led by veterans Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson.

"I've bowled at Steve quite a lot, he's a world-class player and had a lot of success against us and we need to figure out ways to keep him quiet," Woakes said.

you cant run him over with a bulldozer so the poms have no chance of stopping him
