Australian batsman Steve Smith was left unhappy when he was denied leg byes twice during the first day of the second test between Australia and New Zealand on Thursday. In the final over before lunch, Wagner bowled a bouncer which hit Smith on the body. Smith tried to sneak in a single, but umpire Nigel Long stopped him, on the grounds of no shot being offered. The Laws of Cricket suggest that leg byes can be awarded either when a batsman is offering a shot or when he is taking evasive action. Smith’s actions, as per Long’s understanding, were not evasive but not offering a shot, much to the contradiction of Smith’s thoughts of his shot (or no shot). Smith became even more infuriated when he was denied leg byes once again in the same over. He was seen making his argument to the umpire, and felt his team should have got a few leg byes. A SATISFYING DAY FOR AUSTRALIA- At the end of first day’s play in Melbourne, Steve Smith remained unbeaten on 77 as Australia found themselves 257 for4. After having lost Joe Burns early, David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne built a good partnership with latter going on to get a half century. Given that they lost the toss and were put into bat first, Australia will be satisfied with the effort and will look to build on it on the second day. & Fresh Faces for the ODI Tour [https://www.essentiallysports.com/india-vs-australia-2020-australia-revamp-their-team-with-a-new-coach-fresh-faces-for-the-odi-tour/] As for New Zealand, they would have ideally liked a few more wickets to justify their decision to bowl first.

Steve Smith Biography

Steve Smith is currently on a redemption arc. He returns to the fray after serving a 1 year ban for his involvement in a ball-tampering saga. Both he and Australia vice captain, David Warner were handed a ban as they were aware of bowler, Cameron Bancroft's activities.

Steve Smith made his Test, ODI and T20 debut back in 2010, nearly a decade ago. Since then, he has risen in the ranks and eventually became captain of the Australian national team. Steve Smith's ranking according to the ICC is number 4 in Test cricket.

IPL Career

Steve Smith's IPL career kicked off with the Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2010. He was drafted into the side, in place of Kiwi, Jesse Ryder.

A year later, Steve Smith was picked up by the Kochi Tuskers Kerala, but had to sit out due to injury. But then, the Kochi team folded and he was left in the void once again.

Then, Steve Smith's IPL career took a turn for the better when the Rajasthan Royals bought him in 2014. Since then, he has remained with the side, except for when the team got banned for their role in a corruption scandal.

During that time, he joined Rising Pune Supergiant for 2 years. After Rajasthan's return, he was roped back in once again.

Expectations for IPL 2019

The Rajasthan Royals are an excellent team and they have a truly well-balanced side. With the return of Steve Smith, their team's arsenal will surely be shored up.

Steve Smith is primarily a right-handed batsman. His technique has attracted plenty of attention owing to its unorthodoxy. He tends to move around in the crease, especially during bowlers' run-up. Smith later ends up with the toes of his feet outside off stump against right-handers
