On 30 December 2017, he reached a Test batting rating of 947, the second-highest of all time, only behind Don Bradman's 961. Steve Smith was stripped of the national captaincy in all three forms and lost his national contract. He was banned from any leadership position in Australian cricket for two years and was unable to play international cricket or Australian domestic cricket for 12 months. He was also dropped from the 2018 IPL. During his ban he played in the Global T20 Canada, the Caribbean Premier League, Sydney Grade cricket for Sutherland and the Bangladesh Premier League.

Shane Warne Profile Shane Warne is an Australian former international cricketer who captained the Australian national team in ODI. One of Wisden's five cricketers of the 20th century, Shane Warne remains the second-highest Test wicket-taker of all time with 708 from 145 Tests. And despite it being 11 years since his Test retirement and five since he finished playing, the star appeal remains undimmed. While that is largely due to his work in the media and appearances on shows like 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here' he insists that he is far from comfortable with the celebrity tag. "The real me is preferring to be on the couch with my kids, in tracksuit pants," he said. "The other stuff is a bit of fun but I much prefer the quiet life. But it's about balance. Too much couch time and chilling and you crave a bit of social stuff and too much social stuff and you crave being at home. "I value loyalty. Loyalty is one of the most import...

Shane Watson  Shane Robert Watson is an Australian cricket player who has played for Australia’s national cricket team. In a recent Instagram post, Harbhajan Singh revealed that his CSK teammate Watson batted through a bleeding knee during his 59-ball 80 which went in vain on the night of IPL final against Mumbai Indians on Sunday. “Can you guys see the blood on his knee…he got 6 stitches after the game..got injured while diving but continue to bat without telling anyone. That’s our @srwatson33 Almost pulled it off for us last night,” Harbhajan’s Instagram story read.  It was probably the bleeding knee which hampered his running which saw him get run out. Mumbai ultimately won the thriller by a run after Malinga held his nerves and defended just eight runs in the last over. Soon after the match, photos of Watson's bloodied pants went viral online. Fans and spectators of the game were left awestruck by his dedication for CSK and towards the sport and held the A...

Glenn Maxwell Glenn James Maxwell is an international cricketer, who plays ODI and Twenty20 cricket for Australia. He has also played Test cricket for Australia. Stuart Alford recalls handing a questionnaire to his players upon taking charge as captain-coach of South Belgrave Cricket Club, in Melbourne's Dandenong Ranges, early last decade. One question called for the boys and men to detail their ambitions for the season ahead. "He was still in under-14s when I first came to the club," Alford said of a precocious teenager by the name of Glenn Maxwell. "His first comments to me really stood out – 'I want to play some games in the ones this year'. "I actually asked who Glenn was because I only had the sheet. This little kid stuck his hand up. I sort of baulked and went, 'You're fairly confident with your own abilities'. He just sat back and smiled at me. He said. 'I had a good year last year'." "In s...
