NEW DELHI: “That's all right man. No worries,” said Steve Smith with a big smile on his face after a journalist's phone went off during his post-match presser on the second day of the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne.
Smith was speaking about the second day's play and Australia's plan for India when a journalist’s phone rang, interrupting the former Australia skipper.
After Smith was distracted by the call, he immediately responded with an 'oh, ohho!'.
The journalist immediately apologised to the 35-year-old and Smith then responded to him politely with a smile.
On Day 2, Smith smashed a terrific ton to power Australia to a massive 474 in the first innings.
While Smith scored an incredible 140, Sam Konstas, Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne hit respective fifties, taking their side to a solid total.
To go with that, skipper Pat Cummins also added 49 runs lower down the order and shared a terrific 112-run stand with Smith to take the Aussies closer to the 500-run mark.
In reply, India ended the day at a precarious 164 for 5.
