Ex-Australian Allan Border emphasised once again that Australia needs to play hard cricket ahead of the WTC final starting on June 7 at the Oval. Allan also took a dig at Ex-AUS skipper Steve Smith.

Speaking on Code Sports Allan Border said –

“You are in a contest out there. I’d be playing with a harder edge. We [Aussies] play a certain style of cricket. Hard, but fair cricket.”

He also took a dig at Steve Smith and reminded the instance when the Aussie vice-captain acknowledged the Indian left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja’s good deliveries with a thumbs up. He said – “I thought that was a bit over the top.”

Allan said – “You can have that friendly rivalry without being excessive, like Smith…in India, he gave the thumbs up every time he got a good ball.”
