Steve Smith's catch was very good 🔥🔥 he is indeed a very good fielder and a class batsman too👍👍

[@G1.Jeevan]

The fact that ZIM were 185-4 and AUS were 155-5 at certain points in this game, tells you that ZIM were not bad Add to that, they were playing a full-strength AUS XI in AUS It was Smith's agility in the field and his anchor role in the batting that was the difference between the two sides today and ZIM certainly need someone like him. Prolly Raza on his day could be the one! Kudos to Green and Maxwell too, they were the ones who sealed the game quite comprehensively, or else it would have been much tighter!

Once time, Zimbabwe was on 184-4 and last six wickets collapse on just 16 runs. I think, Zimbabwean batters should learn from this situations. I'm fully sure, if ICC given many matches for small teams against top teams, then small teams improvement day by day and given tough time for top teams. Zimbabwe, Afghanistan, Ireland, Scotland, Nepal and Netherlands all teams should playing better cricket. Cricket shouldn't for few nations, cricket should be for lot of nations like football. India, Australia, England, South Africa, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, West Indies, Bangladesh are only few strong teams in cricket and compare with football teams like Spain, Brazil, Italy, Germany, Argentina, England, Croatia, Uruguay, Columbia, Portugal, Switzerland, France, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, Greece, Czech Republic, Finland, Macedonia, Austria, Hungary, Chile, Paraguay, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Ireland, Norway, Japan, South Korea, Nigeria, Tunisia etc.
