'Genius' Smith can be dismissed, reveals Ricky Ponting

Manchester, Sep 7: Hailing him as a genius, former Australia captain and batting great Ricky Ponting on Friday said Steve Smith can only be dismissed if he is bowled around the corridor of uncertainty, outside the off stump.

On Thursday, Smith -- who had to miss the third Ashes Test due to concussion -- played an incredible knock of 211 to help Australia post a mammoth first inning total of 497/8 and take the driver's seat at the Old Trafford.
