As the top-scorer and perhaps the best batsman of the series by quite a distance, Steve Smith was justified in being disappointed at losing the four-Test series. “That’s a big stride for me moving forward and something I can really learn from and continue to grow as an individual and as a leader,” Smith said at the end of the final Test here on Tuesday. “I was a little disappointed that the BCCI sieved through the archive to find a conversation on the field that was happening between Matty (Wade) and Jadeja. “It’s been a hard-fought series and guys are going to say things here and there, their emotions are going to be high. So I was a little bit disappointed by the fact the BCCI did bring that out,” he commented.
