"I think it was probably one of our worst bowling displays that we've put on for a very long time", former captain Steve Smith said during a press conference back then.

"He come in on that session and for 45 minutes Starcy bounced him. The whole session. Thunderbolts and Smithy's obviously a freak so he's pulling, playing them and cops it. Doesn't say a word", Travis Head explained.

Later, Head stated that Smith was completely blank about the fact that he blamed it on the bowlers. "After smacking it everywhere, and then he walked out (Steve Smith) and asked Starc 'Starcy you've got the sh**ts for me or what'", Head concluded. Taking to X:

This incident shows that even the skipper of the Australian cricket team is not spared in the net sessions. There's no anger, there's no malice, there are no superstars on the Australian side, but everyone is treated at the same level.

Famously known for sledging, Australia has taken no step back in covering all the aspects of the game. So far, Australia has come victorious in six ODI World Cups- 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2015, and 2023.
