WATCH – Steve Smith scores a duck on Sheffield Shield return for New South Wales

Steve Smith last scored a duck in November 2016.

Steve Smith | GettySteve Smith had a wonderful return to Test cricket. He scored a massive haul of 774 runs in four Tests which included 3 centuries and the best score of 211. However, he is human after all, as his return to Australia’s domestic cricket ended in an anti-climax.

Playing for New South Wales in the Sheffield Shield Trophy after a period of two years, many had expected Steve Smith to charm the crowd at the Gabba against Queensland. However, it turned out to be a massive dud as Smith ended up edging a wide delivery from Queensland bowler Cameron Gannon to slips, where Joe Burns pouched a sharp catch.

What made this duck more so important, was that this was his first duck after 54 innings in First-Class cricket and in nearly 3 years, as his last innings of 0 came against South Africa in November 2016.
