Smith prepared for pink ball challenge under the lights

Smith addressed the challenges of playing with the pink ball in the second Test at the Gabba

Transcript

00:00 Yeah, I mean it should be good.

00:02 I think they're a pretty good attack.

00:04 They've got some good bowlers in there.

00:06 And, yeah, pink ball, when it's nipping around and swinging around,

00:09 might suit them nicely like it does our bowlers, I suppose.

00:12 So, it's always a challenge, I think, particularly batting under lights.

00:16 When that ball's new, it's always difficult.

00:18 So, yeah, I haven't had a look at the wicket yet,

00:21 but this is sort of the only pink ball game I played here

00:27 against Pakistan when they almost chased down 480, I think,

00:30 in the fourth innings.

00:32 The ball got really soft quickly here,

00:34 so if that's the case, the new ball might be difficult

00:37 and then it might be nice to bat after that, but we'll wait and see.
