Aus vs Ind: Smith Still Struggling With Stiff Back, Says Can't Sit Down For Too Long
Australia top-order batsman Steve Smith on Tuesday revealed that he is still struggling with a stiff back, that he had feared would keep him out of the first Test against India. The former Australia captain said he is struggling to sit for long, although he hopes to get fit by the time the second Test begins on Saturday.
"I just can't sit down for too long really. If I am up and about and moving around, I am pretty good. If I sit down, I am pretty stiff after this press conference. If I am moving around or lying down then good. If I sit around for too long then it is not great for it. So I am not worried. Everything will be fine. It will be good to go," Smith told reporters on Tuesday.
