Smith earns praise after battling head knock to hit century

Smith earns praise after battling head knock to hit century

Rediff.com21 Feb 2016

Australia captain Steve Smith shook off a sickening blow to the back of his head and notched up his 14th test century, earning the praise of his team mates and New Zealand opponents at the end of the second day of the second test on Sunday. Smith was on 78 shortly before tea when he was hit by a Neil Wagner bouncer and dropped to his knees, immediately prompting gasps from the crowd at Hagley Oval. Australia are still mindful of the death of their team mate Phillip Hughes, who was killed in late 2014 after being hit by a bouncer in a first class match, and fellow centurion Joe Burns said there was real concern when his captain dropped to the pitch. "It certainly always a concern when you see someone get hit in the head, it got him quite flush as well," Burns told reporters after Australia finished the second day on 363 for four, just seven runs adrift of New Zealand. "Fortunately the medical staff was out there very quickly, they gave him the all clear. Luckily the tea break was around the corner so he could sit down for 20 minutes and let the shock settle."

Narine difficult to pick despite re-modelled action: Hogg

Rediff.com13 Apr 2016

They may be fighting for a place in the Kolkata Knight Riders' team, but senior spinner Brad Hogg revealed that fellow mystery spinner Sunil Narine is now bowling within the ICC's permitted 15 degrees of flexibility. The 45-year old Hogg also warned that Narine is still 'difficult to pick' despite the re-correction in his action. "I remember taking some balls from him (at training) and his action was perfect," Hogg said. "We all know he can do it without the restriction, he can do it legitimately. "Let me tell you I was struggling to pick him up from other end when he was bowling the doosra - I thought it was going the other way," Hogg said. Narine missed out on KKR's victory against Delhi Daredevils on Sunday after flying home to Trinidad due to his father's death. The West Indies spinner has re-joined the squad and will be fighting for the overseas spinner's spot with Hogg, who had claimed match-winning three wickets against the Daredevils.
