ENG VS AUS: After winning the first two Tests of the Ashes 2023 series at Edgbaston and Lord’s the Australian cricket team was not able to continue their winning momentum and lost the 3rd

Test at Headingley by three wickets. Aussie batsman Steve Smith who was playing his 100th Test didn't have a nice outing and was not able to contribute with the bat. Additionally Steven

Smith was also booed by the fans present at Headingley.  Former Australia cricketer Mark Taylor while speaking on the Wide World of Sports said that Steve Smith had a disappointing 100th

Test and it was an un-Smith-like second innings in the 3rd Test in Leeds.  _(Steve Smith during the WTC 2023 Final/Image:AP)_ > Smith was disappointing in his 100th Test, scoring no real 

runs. His > second innings dismissal was a shock to all of us because it was so > un-Smith-like, but caught well as he always does.  Mark Taylor further said that Steve Smith needs to

convert his starts into big hundreds and also insisted that the top 3 batters need to get big scores.  > He got a couple of starts, but like all of the batsmen, needs to > start 

turning these 30s and 40s into big scores. He knows that, and > we all know Test match cricket is won by blokes making big hundreds, > not 30s and 40s. He didn't have a bad game 

but need more from the > top three batters to get big totals The English cricket team now will aim to continue their winning momentum in the fourth Test of the five-match Ashes 2023

series and also keep their hopes alive of regaining the 'urn' after eight years.
