5 reasons Indian bowlers should be beware of the Australian batting

2. Steve Smith

Steve Smith is an anomaly to the textbook technique batsmen. He has his own way of playing and is effective against most attacks. A terrific player of both spin and pace, he uses movement on the crease to set bowler off from his intended target. He can take singles, doubles and can hit fours and sixes at will.

The only weakness he has is his unorthodox technique, which gives bowlers easy chance of taking his wicket because of his trigger shuffle movement towards off side, making him a prime candidate for leg before wicket.
