Smith returns after his finger injury in the World Test Championship final as Australia look to wrap up series

Transcript

00:00Yeah, yesterday was his first hit, but he was really happy.

00:02Particularly batting, yeah, he seemed fine, so he's ready to go.

00:07He's going to have another hit now, but yeah, finger held up well.

00:10Fielding still potentially needs to manage a little bit,

00:12so he might not be in the slips too often.

00:14Maybe for the spin he'll be okay, but quicks might need to wait another week.

00:17So yeah, you might see him running around a bit more.

00:19I mean, that's one of his great strengths.

00:20He's scored runs all over the world and that means,

00:23whilst he's not maybe played a game here,

00:25he seems to work out pretty quickly what needs to be done

00:27and where your scoring areas are.

00:28So, of course, having that knowledge is going to be helpful,

00:30particularly for guys that haven't really played too many tests

00:34or first-class games or similar things.
