Smith channels Chanderpaul in training for pink-ball Test
- Published
Australia batter Steve Smith has been channeling his inner Shivnarine Chanderpaul as he prepares for the day-night second Test in Brisbane.
Smith, who will again captain Australia in the absence of the injured Pat Cummins, was seen applying black tape under his eyes.
It was something that Chanderpaul did plenty of times during his West Indies career.
The theory was that they act as anti-glare patches and stop the sun (or lights in Smith's case most likely) entering the peripheral area of the eyes.
Time will tell if Smith - and any of the other players - adopt the approach in the Test that starts on Thursday.
