Smith would've needed 15-inch spikes to do what people are accusing him of: Langer
Australia head coach Justin Langer has defended Steve Smith over the crease-scuffing controversy, saying, "He would’ve needed 15-inch spikes to do what people are accusing him of doing and messing up Rishabh Pant’s guard." Langer added, "I literally cannot believe some of the rubbish I read about Smith. Absolute load of rubbish." "He does it probably most games," Langer stated.
