REUTERS: Steve Smith's unorthodox batting technique is not something a purist will advocate to budding players, but his monstrous run-scoring ability might force coaching manuals to be rewritten, former Australia cricketer Adam Gilchrist has said.
"Years ago, Smith had a lean patch with the bat, and had to step away for a bit," former wicketkeeper-batsman Gilchrist told reporters in Bengaluru on Wednesday."He tried to change his technique, but later decided to stay true to his game. Smith and Warner have been repeatedly booed and mocked by the crowds in England and while Warner has scored just 79 runs from eight innings during the Ashes, Smith has seen himself compared to Australian great Don Bradman.
"Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft took responsibility for their actions. Smith has utilised the time away to come back mentally tougher."
