Steve Smith has done numerous interviews during the India vs Australia series, giving fans an insight into his fascinating cricketing brain. The Australian’s latest video interview with Nathan Lyon has shed light on the one thing he hates about playing cricket.
Seven, one of the official broadcasters of the India vs Australia series, recently revealed the video on their social media channels as a part of their ‘Team Bonding’ series.
One of the eye-catching moments from the interaction between the Australian duo is when Nathan Lyon asks Steve Smith about the latter’s least favorite thing while playing cricket. Pre-empting the response, Lyon guesses that the answer to the question would be “Nothing”, but Smith has a special answer up his sleeve.
The batsman then goes on to reveal that his least favorite thing about playing cricket is packing his cricket kit at the end of the day. Steve Smith admitted that he doesn’t enjoy putting his bats away after he’s done playing.
Nathan Lyon seemed to be surprised at Steve Smith’s answer. He then asked a question that gave an insight into Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith’s friendship.
After Lyon wondered whether Marnus Labuschagne helps Smith pack his bags, the former Australian captain admitted that his teammate has helped him pack his kit in the past.
“Marnus did do that once and let’s see if we can get another deal. I think, definitely."
