A decision pandering entirely to irrationally-founded public outrage ended up wasting one whole year of a generational talent at the absolute peak of his prowess; all for a transgression more common in cricket than people care to admit.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What must it be that kept Smith going during his time away? Could it be a rage against the unfair treatment meted out to him? Or perhaps a slightly repentant introspection of his own actions? Or a sheer desire to rise once again to the highest pantheon after falling to the absolute depths of humiliation? By his own admission, there came a point where he very nearly <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espncricinfo.com\/story\/_\/id\/27303374\/i-know-was-ever-going-play-cricket-again-steven-smith\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fell out of love<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with the game. But thankfully, for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/virat-kohli-india-australia-cricket-tour-test-adelaide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Australia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the fans who love to watch him bat, he hung on. And on Thursday at Edgbaston in the Ashes 2019 opener, he made his glorious return to the Test team in a picture-perfect homecoming.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1564891753.jpg\" alt=\"steve_smith\" width=\"594\" height=\"389\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-52983\" \/>\n\n<figcaption>\n<p>Batting on 99, Smith drove a temptingly pitched up delivery from his Rajasthan Royals teammate Ben Stokes.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Pierse\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Against the backdrop of a hostile English crowd, Smith essayed an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espncricinfo.com\/story\/_\/id\/27303497\/steven-smith-sculpts-stuff-dreams\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">innings of a lifetime<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, single-handedly lifting his team from a giant pit and firmly putting them in the driver\u2019s seat. Every run off Smith\u2019s bat drilled a hole through the wave of abuse sent his way by the crowd at Edgbaston, who clearly overestimated their ability to unsettle a man on a road to redemption.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fast-forward a couple of days and Smith once again was fronting a rescue mission, this time against a sizable run deficit in the hope to put on some runs for the Australian bowling to defend. Surely he was not going to repeat his day one exploits, or was he? Well, not only did Smith steer Australia on a path of safety but in compiling the second hundred on the Test, he managed to break the English spirits, which now makes their task to save the Test in a rearguard action incredibly difficult.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In both the innings, Smith walked in to bat with Australia two-down for a meagre total on board. It is not the most unfamiliar territory to him. Playing away from home in particular, he has had to walk in much sooner than any <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/india-world-cup-england-shankar-jadhav-kohli-dhoni-middle-order\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">middle-order batsman<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> would like. Smith knows exactly what is needed of him in these situations. There is hardly anyone better at weathering a storm. Despite the English pacers testing Smith\u2019s resolve and coming close to breaching his defence, he remained unflustered. He toiled and toiled more. He survived and survived more. He batted and batted more, while all around him, the rest of the Australian batting continued to flounder and perish.<\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>Playing away from home in particular, Smith has had to walk in much sooner than any middle order batsman would like<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post lunch on Day One, a riveting spell of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/jasprit-bumrah-fast-bowler-world-cup-finisher\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fast bowling<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from Stuart Broad and Chris Woakes saw Australia find themselves eight-down for 122. From that point, Smith forged two partnerships worth their weight in absolute gold and the team amassed another 162 runs. Smith toyed with everything the English threw at him, forced consistent changes in field setting, and left the bowlers bruised. Smith had already done this once to England in another Ashes opener at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricket.com.au\/video\/steve-smith-century-innings-highlights-day-three-australia-england-first-ashes-test-gabba\/2017-11-25\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brisbane in 2017<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In many ways, this was d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu for Broad &#038; Co. But they cannot be blamed for the lack of trying, for they literally exhausted themselves of all reserves.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Batting on 99, Smith drove a temptingly pitched up delivery from his Rajasthan Royals teammate <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/world-cup-2019-england-south-africa-ben-stokes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ben Stokes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As the ball beat the in-field, Smith knew it was heading for the fence and burst into an emotional celebration. He was elated, and so was the Australian dressing room. The English crowd persisted with their jibes, but they knew Smith had triumphed. Deep down, they were hurting, and the audacious strokeplay from Smith\u2019s bat that followed for the final phase of his innings only compounded their frustrations.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The finest element of this knock however was restraint, something that characterises Smith\u2019s batting at large. He has an overpowering resolve to resist the temptation of asserting his authority over the opposition. Time and again, he has refrained from playing his shots while the bowlers are running in at full steam. He waits, he absorbs, he calculates. And then when he hits, he hurts. This feels even more impressive when one factors in that Smith is an out-and-out modern-day batsman with a wide array of shots \u2014 some of which seem absolutely <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VqDrHOsWIxg\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ridiculous<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to even try but he has <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GUaFWoNn0pw\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mastered<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1564891752.jpg\" alt=\"aus\" width=\"593\" height=\"407\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-52982\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>Adverse conditions, an intimidating crowd, a world-class bowling attack operating at their best, and a batting collapse to steady. But Smith conquered each challenge with the same nonchalance that we were so used to. <\/p>\n<p>Stu Forster\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Smith or literally any other man in his position would have been excused for wishing for a smoother passage to return to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/india-vs-england-test-cricket-series\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Test cricket<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A Brisbane or a Perth. Even an Abu Dhabi or a Rajkot would do. Edgbaston however, would certainly be the last on anyone\u2019s list. These conditions are as English as England can get. But perhaps this was essential for Smith to be able to hit back his levels straightaway.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adverse conditions, an intimidating crowd, a world-class bowling attack operating at their best, and a batting collapse to steady. The task at hand could not have been more demanding. But Smith conquered each challenge with the same nonchalance that we were so used to. It was almost as if he had never left. His dominance felt even more familiar in the second innings against a dispirited attack on a pitch having lost its flavour.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Smith completed the second innings hundred with another captivating cover drive, a thrilled Nasser Hussain in the commentary box declared, the \u201credemption is well and truly complete\u201d. Hussain\u2019s words immortalised one of the greatest individual performances over the course of a Test match even ignoring the weight of context it came under.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The three centuries Smith had scored in England prior to this series had all come on relatively better wickets. Dominating <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/cricket-india-england-front-foot-defence\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">England<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on a \u201cproper\u201d seaming surface against the moving ball therefore remained unchecked. But not anymore. And regardless of how The Ashes pans out over the next few weeks, this innings will have its place locked in history. Those present at Edgbaston will keep recounting their tales of this knock; some astonishingly, whereas a few others exasperatingly. But recount it they definitely will.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a year in the wilderness, Steve Smith made his return to Test cricket amid adverse conditions, an intimidating crowd, a world-class bowling attack operating at their best, and a batting collapse to steady.
