Australia's Test specialist player Steve Smith is making new records with his performance. Smith is playing the 100th Test match of his career in the third match of the Ashes series at the historic ground in Leeds. In such a situation, Smith could not play a big innings for Australia in the first innings, after which the spectators present on the ground made fun of him.

 

Responded to the audience

Now Smith has slapped the audience with his excellent fielding. Yes, Steve Smith has become the first player to take 5 catches twice in an innings of a Test match. Smith did it against England in the first innings of the third Ashes Test at Headingley Stadium in Leeds.

 

Smith's special record-

However, earlier in 2018, Smith took five catches in an innings of a Test against South Africa at Newlands Cape Town. However, Smith is the first player to take five catches in an Ashes series. Earlier, Smith had a record of taking 4 catches.

 

Third Test-

Although Smith could not succeed in making his 100th memorable with the bat in both innings of the third match. In such a situation, after being dismissed after the first innings, the crowd present in the stadium of England mocked Smith and teased him. In such a situation, what Smith does in the second innings with the ball to make his 100th Test memorable will be worth watching. However, Smith could not do much in the second innings as well.

 

Something happened that the Australian team was heavily criticized for the dismissal of Johnny Bairstow in the second Test, after which when Smith was dismissed in the third match, the hearts of England supporters must have got some coolness. Australia is playing for 116 runs after losing 4 wickets in the second innings.
