Marnus told me in the summer he’ll be back in the Test team – Steve Smith

Smith revealed a shift in his approach too, talking about not hitting as many balls in the nets as he previously used to and keeping mentally fresh. “Honestly, it takes me two hits to get sorted. I feel like I’m ready to go now. There’s obviously a balance, but I don’t think it takes me much now to get up to game speed and I want to try and stay as mentally fresh. Technically I feel in a good place, it’s about being mentally fresh. I’m not hitting as many balls as I used to. It’s to try and get the most out of myself mentally when I’m out in the middle and be able to concentrate for long periods of time.”
