SYDNEY: Australian legend Shane Warne said rookie Steve Smith has “all the toys” to become a top leg-spinner ahead of his likely Test debut against Pakistan, but warned against setting expectations too high.
Warne siad that while the 21-year-old could ultimately become “something special”, his development was far from complete.
“He is pretty raw and a work in progress — nowhere near the finished product, he really has to make sure he keeps his feet on the ground. We shouldn’t be expecting too much of him just yet,” warned Warne. Warne said he would have preferred Smith to be given more time to develop and hoped expectations would not be too high.
