He started off in shaky manner, scoring 12, 11* and 6 in the first three innings of the series, but he remained unbeaten in the final innings of the series and almost took Australia to victory before West Indies snatched the win at the Gabba. “There was a lot of talk about how I’d flopped in two or three innings - I had a not out and two low scores,” Smith said. “Now I’m averaging 60 as an opener. It was just another spot; I’ve faced the new ball many times, coming in early. I’ve liked the first couple of weeks of it … if they decide to move me back down, I’ll do whatever the team requires". Smith praised the young West Indies speedster Shamar Joseph who pulled off a remarkable comeback to take seven wickets and lead his team to a memorable win.
