Australians hope
collective effort
can fill massive
gap left by Smith
Tim Wigmore
Without the man who
has scored a third of
their runs, Paine wants
the whole side to step up
T
ake out one-third of
a team’s runs and
what, exactly, is left?
This is the question
facing Australia at
Headingley, where
they must find a way to score
sufficient runs without Steve
Smith.
When Smith suffered his
concussion at Lord’s, the joke was
that the only “like-for-like
replacement” had been born in
Cootamundra more than a century
earlier and passed away in 2001.
Yet arguably even this understated
Smith’s importance to Australia
this series.
Throughout his indomitable
career, Sir Don Bradman scored
25.3 per cent of Australia’s runs. So
far in the 2019 Ashes, Smith
accounts for 32.2 per cent of
Australia’s runs – even though he
could not bat in the second innings
at Lord’s. His tally of 378 runs thisseries is, absurdly, a full 253 clear
of Australia’s next highest scorer,
Travis Head.
Replacing Smith is like trying to
do without oxygen: it cannot be
done, even though Marnus
Labuschagne did an admirable
impression in the second innings
at Lord’s.
“We do it as a team,” captain Tim
Paine said of trying to make up for
Smith’s runs. “There aren’t too
many guys – there’s only one other- that have averaged higher than
Steve in Test cricket. Clearly, they
are huge shoes to fill and we don’t
put all that pressure on Marnus.
Marnus comes in to play a role in
our team and it’s up to everyone
else, particularly our senior
players, to just make sure we give
that little bit more output and
cover Steve as best we can.”
If Australia are to thrive – or, at
least, survive – in Smith’s absence,
that process must begin with
extracting more runs from
their openers.
For while Smith has returned
astonishingly from his 16-month
absence from Test cricket, so far
David Warner and Cameron
Bancroft, Australia’s opening pair,
have mustered a combined 60 runs
across their eight innings.
After a terrific World Cup, when
he made 647 runs – just one shy of
the tournament record – and
showed an ability to adapt to the
moving ball that many openers in
the tournament lacked, Warner’s
struggles have been surprising.
Across the 2015 and 2017-18 Ashes,
Stuart Broad bowled 309 balls to
Warner and failed to dismiss him at
all. So far this series, Broad has
extracted late movement from
around the wicket to snare Warner
three times in just 29 balls.
Bancroft has fared a little better,
showing the contours of a methodreplaced by Marcus Harris, who
made two 70s against India in
Australia’s home summer and is
averaging 32.7 from his six Tests,
considerably superior to Bancroft’s
26.2.
Given his 21 Test centuries, there
are no such doubts about Warner’s
place, but there is a case that he
should be moved down from
opening – he averages just 30.2 in
England – to bat in the middleto withstand seam at Lord’s, but
being dismissed by a different
bowler each innings this series,
including twice by spin.
“It’s international cricket, it’s
tough,” Paine said. “Opening the
batting in Test cricket in England is
difficult. I know our guys are
struggling a little bit as well to get
the runs they would like.”
Should Bancroft fail again at
Headingley, he may well be6 *** Thursday 22 August 2019 The Daily Telegraph
