Duck for Smith ahead of 5th Ashes Test
AFP
AFP, LONDON: Steve Smith was out for a duck in his first innings since being named Australia’s next captain as the tourists warmed up for the final Ashes Test with a draw against Northamptonshire. Smith, 26, who will replace Michael Clarke at the helm of Australia after the end of next week’s fifth Test against England, was caught behind off Maurice Chambers in only the 12th delivery of the last day of the rain-hit three-day match.
