Smith and Warner shine on return to Aussie cricket

-

Disgraced cricketers Steve Smith and David Warner made stunning returns to Australian cricket yesterday, with the pair both notching up big scores in front of some of the largest grade-level crowds the country has seen.

Former captain Smith looked as though he had not a missed beat, with a classy 85 of 92 deliveries for Sutherland against Mosman in New South Wales grade cricket.

He was greeted with loud applause from hundreds of fans when he walked out to the pitch at Sydney’s Glenn McGrath Oval, supporters delighted to see a return of his trademark fidgeting at crease. “It’s awesome to see him playing,” Sutherland teammate Shane Watson told Cricket Australia’s website.
