Steve Smith talks about Joe Root not having a Test century in Australia: ‘That is something that he wants to tick off his bucket list'
With the Ashes a few months away, Australia 's Steve Smith opened up about facing England and especially Joe Root who had a decent series against India in the recent Anderson Tendulkar trophy. The England player scored 534 runs in five Tests, including 3 centuries. However, Root has yet to notch up a century in Australia having played played 27 innings Down Under, averaging 35.68 and with a highest score of 89. 'In the last two years, he has been incredible. His ability to make big scores- to go from 50 to a hundred- which was one thing he, you know, he got caught in that 50 to 100 spot for quite a while. Now, he's just making it count and going on and making huge scores. He, hasn't scored a 100 in Australia, that's being talked about quite a lot. I am sure that is something that he wants to tick off his bucket list,' Smith said to Sky Sports Cricket 'Like I said, it'll be tricky for batting, tricky for top order batters so from an Australian point of view, hopefully he does not get a 100 this time but I know he'll be working hard for it, that's for sure,' he added. A few days ago, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting says he saw Joe Root's lack of a Test century from three tours to Australia as an anomaly. 'What he's done the past five years is extraordinary. Look at the numbers: he's got 13,500 runs. I rank players on how long they can stay at the top of their powers. You can be a great player for 30 to 40 games but can you do it for 150 games? Joe probably wasn't a great player for his first 100 games — he had 17 hundreds in 97 Tests — but he's turned into a great player. He has got 21 hundreds in his past 60 games,' Ponting had said to The Times. 'Steve Smith found ways to minimise risks and that's what Joe has done. The best players are the best problem-solvers. They can do it before a series, they can do it halfway through an innings. They work out how to combat ways that certain players are going to try to get them out,' he added.

Yastika, Radha, Tanuja fifties help India A clinch one-day series against Australia A
BRISBANE: Fine half-centuries from Yastika Bhatia, Radha Yadav and Tanuja Kanwar propelled India A to a thrilling series-clinching two-wicket victory over Australia A after Alyssa Healy's brilliant knock had set the bar high for the visitors in the second women's one-dayer on Friday. Following the win, achieved with just one ball to spare, India has taken a 2-0 lead in the three-match series of the multi-format tour. India A had lost the three-match T20 series 0-3. Chasing a healthy 265 for nine, built largely on Australian skipper Healy's 87-ball 91, India was in doldrums at 193 for seven after losing Yastika (66 off 71 balls) and Radha (60 off 78 balls). But spin-bowling all-rounder Tanuja rose to the occasion by batting responsibly for her 50 (57 balls) to fashion a fight back as India A won on the penultimate ball of the match. Left-arm spinner Tanuja forged a 68-run stand for the eighth wicket with Prema Rawat (32 not out), who has been brilliant with the ball in the series, as the duo took it upon themselves to thwart the home team's challenge. The pair subdued their attacking instinct and focused on the huge task on hand. They relied on quick running between the wickets. Tanuja was unlucky to be dismissed with the target in sight. But Prema and pacer Titas Sadhu weathered the Australia A challenge in the final over to score the five precious runs for victory. It was wicketkeeper-batter Yastika who displayed the intent to fight early on after she saw her opening partner Shafali Verma (4) and Dhara Gujjar (0) head back to the dressing room in quick succession. Yastika played with determination as she crafted her innings with the help of nine boundaries. India A's position wasn't looking good at 83 for four but Yastika continued to plod, finally departing in the 29th over and the team in a much better situation at 151 for five.
