One had an unforgettable summer, another a summer to forget.
The fortunes – and scores – of David Warner and Steve Smith could scarcely have contrasted more since they returned into Test cricket after 12-month bans for their parts from the 2018 ball-tampering scandal.
Warner’s return of just 95 runs was the cheapest recorded by means of an opening batsman across 10 innings in a Test series, easily defeating the worst of the John D’Arcy of New Zealand at 1958 – he created 136.
The Stuart Broad of england revealed his nemesis since he dismissed the opener.
Broad was also the bowler who eliminated Smith for his lowest score of the show – 23 in the second innings of the fifth Test – however this was the first time he’d failed to create a half-century in a stellar run of form which attracted comparisons to Sir Donald Bradman.
Here in numbers is the tale of superb Smith and woeful Warner…
