Steve Smith revisits his head knock in the first Test and why he took an ultra-cautious approach to continuing on in the match
Steve Smith revealed that anxiety over suffering another concussion was his biggest hurdle after being struck on the helmet by Anrich Nortje during Australia's first Test against South Africa in Durban. The 37-year-old took a cautious approach by sitting out day four, but he subsequently passed delayed concussion protocols and returned to the field on day five.
Smith contributed scores of 25 and 27 alongside strong slip catching during Australia's 214-run victory. Ahead of the second Test in Gqeberha, Australian captain Pat Cummins dismissed retirement concerns, stating Smith remains in a positive mindset and is performing well without planning an imminent exit.
